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.

Note: There is no recursive delete function that deletes an entire branch of the hierarchy.
Note: You cannot delete any of the roles and special groups that Spotfire creates automatically at installation.
Note: Externally synchronized groups are managed in that context and not within the Spotfire system.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Spotfire Server and click Users & Groups.
  2. Under Select a category, select Groups.
  3. In the left pane of the Groups page, select the check box next to the group or groups that you want to delete.
  4. At the top of the left pane, click Delete checked groups.

Result

The deleted groups no longer appear in the Groups list.
