Here you need focus on two things
If you are removing or adding repository content then you are either register or unregister. If you remove metadata content along with repository content then you are performing delete operation.
SAS Administrators is a default group in SAS deployment with following permissions:
It is member of Management Console: Advanced role, Metadata Server: Operation role, and Metadata Server: User Administration role. In addition to this SAS Administrator group have WriteMetadata permission on the Root folder of the SAS Folders tree, Administer permission on server metadata, and ReadMetadata on server metadata in the SASMeta context.

It is better to add internal users to the SAS Administrators group rather than external users.

What permission is needed to do this task:
To do these task the user must be a member of Metadata Server: Unrestricted role or SAS Administrator group. However, if the users need to perform these operation on foundation repository, he/should be member of SAS Admin group and should be specified as unrestricted user in adminUsers.txt. User should be very careful while deleting or unregistering foundation repository. Any changes made in foundation repository will make metadata server unstable. These operation were done to foundation repository only in special situations.SAS Administrators is a default group in SAS deployment with following permissions:
