Deleting groups from the system

Deleting a group does not delete any of its members from Spotfire; only the group itself is deleted. All users and groups that are members of the deleted group remain in the system. Subgroups that lose their parent group are automatically placed at the top level of the group hierarchy.

About this task

Note: There is no recursive delete function that deletes an entire branch of the hierarchy.

You cannot delete any of the groups that Spotfire creates at installation.

Externally synchronized groups are managed in that context and not within the Spotfire system.

Procedure

Log in to the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Groups.
On the Groups page, right-click the group that you want to delete (use search if you have a long list of groups), and then click Delete.

Note: To delete several groups at the same time, select the check box for each group, and then click Delete above the table.

Results

The deleted groups no longer appear in the Groups list.
