# Decline a guest

> Declines one guest waiting for approval or on the waitlist, as the roster's Decline does, and emails them. `kind` is `declined`. A guest can be declined even when the Event is cancelled. The authenticated user must be the Event's owner, one of its hosts, an accepted co-host, or a member of the owning team. PBAC permission for team events: `calEvent.update`. If accessed using an OAuth access token, the `EVENT_WRITE` scope is required.
