## chainctl policy binding delete

Delete a policy binding.

### Synopsis

Delete a policy binding to deactivate a policy for its bound scope.

Removing a binding disables the policy — image pulls will no longer be
checked against it.

You can pass a binding ID directly as a positional argument, or use
--policy to specify the policy name and --parent to identify the
organization if needed.

```
chainctl policy binding delete [BINDING_ID | --policy POLICY] [--parent ORG] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Delete a binding by ID
  chainctl policy binding delete <binding-id>
  
  # Delete a binding by policy name
  chainctl policy binding delete --policy=no-eol --parent=engineering
```

### Options

```
      --parent string   The name or id of the organization (required when deleting by policy).
      --policy string   The name or id of the policy to disable.
```
