deleteGroup command

Use this command to delete a group.


Purpose

Use the deleteGroup command to delete a group from virtual member manager. We cannot use this command to delete the descendants of the group.

If successful, the deleteGroup command returns the unique name of the deleted group.

If the Use global security settings option is selected for the user realm or the Global federated repositories option is selected as the realm type for the specified domain, this command is executed on the federated repository of the admin domain. However, configuration changes performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.
