Deleting groups

We can delete groups from an ITIM service or from a managed resource.

Before you delete a group, remove the members from the group, and remove the reference to the group from provisioning policy entitlement parameters.

We cannot delete a group that has members. If you delete a group that is referenced by provisioning policies, you must remove those references from the provisioning policy parameters. Otherwise, those references might generate warnings for the affected accounts. For ITIM Service groups, members who are logged on during removal from a group continue to have their current tasks. The change in group membership takes effect at the next logon.
