Deleting a Group

If you have security privileges, you can delete a group that is no longer needed. We suggest that you delete groups from the bottom up. That is, delete a child group before deleting the group to which it belongs.

A group can be a member of more than one group. If you do not have security access to all the groups to which it belongs, you cannot delete the group. You are allowed to remove the group from the group to which you have security access. Although you remove the group from the group to which it belongs, the group is not deleted from the system. See Chapter 8, Configuring Security Settings.

To delete a group:

1. Click the group icon that you want to delete, right-click, and select Delete.

The Confirm Delete dialog box appears.

2. Click OK.

The group is deleted immediately.

The NMC-RX application lets you delete a group that contains groups and/or devices. Although the groups or devices are deleted from the group to which they belong, they are not removed from the database, and you can insert them into different groups at a later time.
