    To remove a user from a role on SQL 2008 and earlier:

    EXEC sp_droprolemember 'db_owner', 'thisuser'

    On SQL 2012 and later:

    ALTER ROLE db_owner DROP MEMBER thisuser

    If you insist of using the UI, you will need to figure what commands etc it uses.

    Check if the user is not Orphan user by below command

    exec sp_change_users_login 'Report'

     

    If this is orphan the first this and then revoke.


    USE <database_name>;
    GO
    sp_change_users_login @Action='update_one', @UserNamePattern='<database_user>',    @LoginName='<login_name>';
    GO

    Make sure you run this query in DATABASE in which you are trying to find orphaned user
