Deleting user groups

Edit online

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to delete user groups. User groups organize users of a volume storage system by role.

About this task

Roles apply to both local and remote users on the system and are based on the user group to which the user belongs. A local user can belong only to a single group; therefore, the role of a local user is defined by the single group that the user belongs to. Remote users can belong to one or more groups; therefore, the roles of remote users are assigned according to the groups that the remote user belongs to.

To delete a user group in the management GUI, select Access > Users. Select a user group and select Delete from the Actions menu.

To delete a user group with the CLI, complete these steps:

Procedure

Issue the rmusergrp CLI command to delete a user group:

For example:

rmusergrp -force group_id_or_name

where group_id_or_name specifies the group to delete. The force parameter specifies to delete the group even if there are users in the user group.

Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of the support center.
