You can search for and list the existing group names that
match the search criteria that you specify. After selecting one or
more groups, you can delete them and remove the group names from the
user registry.
Note: If the federated repositories configuration has changed
since the application server or deployment manager was started, you
must restart the application server or deployment manager to ensure
that changes to users and groups are saved to the current configuration.
- From the navigation pane, click Manage Groups.
- In the Search by field, select the
attribute from the list that you want to use to search for one or
more groups. For example,
select Group name.
- In the Search for field, either
type the string that you want to search for a limited set of groups,
or use the wildcard character (*) to search for all groups. Whether
the search is case sensitive or case insensitive depends on the user
registry that you are using.
- In the Maximum results field, specify
the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
- Click Search. After the search completes,
a table is displayed that lists the group names that match your search
criteria. Descriptions, if any, are also provided.
- Select the check boxes next to the groups that you want
to delete.
- Click Delete.
- Click Delete again when asked to
confirm the deletion. The groups are immediately deleted and removed
from the user registry. The table that lists the groups is refreshed,
and the selected groups are no longer displayed in the list.
