Deleting groups

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.
  1. From the navigation pane, click Manage Groups.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. In the Maximum results field, specify the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
  5. 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.
  6. Select the check boxes next to the groups that you want to delete.
  7. Click Delete.
  8. 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.
