OK.

Beacuse few days back, I was also facing same issue with content editor code. Afterword I checked and found that it is permission issue.

Are you able to remove permissions from site settings using that account?

Hi Reshma,
I am using this code in content editor webpart and the current logged in user has full control permission in the site.

Hi,

Which account you are using to remove user?

I think you may not have full rights to remove user from specific group.

Can you please check.
