This version of the RemoveSkill command is used to remove skills of the users and teams specified with the ProfileEntity value.

https://redcritterconnecter.com/services/gamificationv1/RemoveSkill?SecretKey={SecretKey}&ProfileEntity={ProfileEntity}&SkillName={SkillName}

Name	Type	Required	Description
SecretKey	string	yes	This SecretKey is an App or App Domain Secret Key. If an App Secret Key is specified, your default App Domain will be assumed. If an App Domain Secret Key is specified, that App Domain will be used.
ProfileEntity	string	yes	The ProfileEntity represents to whom the API call will apply. This can be an email address or a team name. Multiple email addresses or teams can be specified by separating them with a semicolon. Team names can be any string value other than an email address. If a team's profile does not exist, RedCritter will create one dynamically.
SkillName	string	yes	The SkillName parameter represents the skill that you want to remove. The following characters cannot be used : \| = [ ] , ;

Variation 2

This version of the RemoveSkill command is used to remove skills of the users and teams specified with the ProfileEntity value. The Secret Key must be the App Secret Key.

https://redcritterconnecter.com/services/gamificationv1/RemoveSkill?SecretKey={SecretKey}&ExternalAccountID={ExternalAccountID}&ProfileEntity={ProfileEntity}&SkillName={SkillName}

Name	Type	Required	Description
SecretKey	string	yes	This SecretKey is an App Secret Key.The App Domain is determined by the External Account ID you provide.
ExternalAccountID	string	yes	A unique ID for an App Domain that you create and manage. For example an App could have 2 App Domains managed separately by specifying an ExternalAccountID of 'Sales Dept' or 'IT Dept'. When passed as a parameter if the External Account ID does not exist.
