User Management and Access › Delete a Group Definition

Delete a Group Definition

To remove a group from the encyclopedia, delete the group. Deleting a group removes the group's unique name and ID, and does not remove the individual user members from the encyclopedia.

To delete a group:

• Requires encyclopedia administrator or group owner privileges
• All models the group owns must be reassigned or deleted.
• Group members cannot have subsets or models that are checked out if the user has access to the model or subset only using the group.

When the group you are deleting is the model or subset administrator, the user deleting the group becomes model or subset's administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the encyclopedia through the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open the group.
3. In the Group Selection window, select Actions, Delete.

   The client confirms that you want to delete the group.

4. Press Yes to delete the group or press No to keep the group.
