Not sure exactly what you are trying to do here. If your template file has specific people's names entered for one or more parameters and you do not want that, can you not open the template file (as a template file), delete the unwanted names and then save the template file?

Accepted solution
They do not populate from anywhere. They are instance parameters of each Sheet. You would need to go to each Sheet and change any unwanted values. You can select multiple Sheets in the Project Browser, and then change the values for those instance parameters in the Properties palette for all of the selected Sheets at one time.
If you know Dynamo, you could probably create a graph that would reset the values for all Sheets in a project, if your template file has a lot of pre-created Sheets and you would rather not have to select all the Sheets.

Create a Schedule, include the Parameter Field, untick itemize and then delete value shown.

Here is a Dynamo graph, done in Revit 2020/Dynamo 2.3.0, that will, with the default settings, reset the values for Approved By, Designed By, Checked By and Drawn By to the "factory default values" (Approver, Designer, Checker and Author, respectively). The replacement values are set up as "Inputs", so you can open the graph in Dynamo Player and edit those values to something else, if that is desired for a specific project file (or template file).
The graph was made with all out-of-the-box nodes. Here is an image of the graph, for anyone who would like to put together the graph themselves:

If you ever only need to do this once, then creating the Dynamo graph from scratch would probably take longer. Unless you can get someone else, who may be tired of assigning people to BIM 360 projects and needed a change of pace to do it for you. 😉
