 Hi @bonniebeeman and welcome to Trac!

 "None" or "No role for this site" must be a plugin option, as it is not
 one of the [https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
 standard WordPress roles].

 If that plugin is User Role Editor, you could request that they add it as
 an option to the Change role dropdown:
 [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-role-editor/ User Role Editor
 support forum]

 Right now with that plugin, though, you could select all Subscriber-level
 users and select Subscriber in the **Revoke role** dropdown. That changes
 users' role to "None" if the revoke role matches their previous role.
