Deleting user groups

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

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:

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.
