Deleting User Groups in bulk from the IBM MaaS360 Portal

The Bulk Delete User Groups workflow allows administrators to delete all or specific user groups from the IBM® MaaS360® Portal.

Before you begin

The administrator must deprovision user visibility in the Cloud Extender® and in Azure Configuration (if configured) before any delete actions are taken on users that belong to the Corporate Directory.
