Deleting an access control item

As an administrator, you can delete an access control item if necessary. For example, you might create another access control item that replaces the access control item that you intend to delete.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

Deleting an access control item revokes any authorization granted to the user (member of the access control item) for a particular protection category. Apply your organization's process that changes or transfers the membership of an access control item before deleting the access control item from the system.

About this task

To delete an access control item, complete these steps:

1. From the navigation tree, select Set System Security > Manage Access Control Items.
2. On the Manage Access Control Items page, type information about the access control item in the Search information field, and click Search.
3. In the Access Control Items table, select an access control item, and then click Delete. Although you can delete a default access control item that IBM Verify Identity Governance provides, you might want to first ensure that an alternative access control item exists.
