  • 1.  Unlink Security Policy from User Group before Deletion

    Posted Sun February 02, 2020 04:31 AM
    I have been through the entire portal a few times trying to delete a User Group I made.  I cannot delete it with active distributions.  I was able to remove the app distributions, but cannot seem to find a way to remove the security policy from the group so I can finally delete said group.

    There are no devices or users in the group and the only thing applied to it is currently a security policy.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Hi Joseph
    I've just given an answer on a very similar question, can you follow the steps indicated please?

    Thank you for the response.  However, the link you provided seems to lead to an unrelated question with no instructions.

    Hi Joseph
    Apologies for this I don't know what happened there. 
    Here's the text from my post to the other question, most of which I believe to be relevant to yours. 
    *************
    The distribution referred to could be an app, a policy or a compliance rule. 
    You can see this in one location:  Users > Groups. 
    Beside the group name you will see the active distributions. 
    For apps just to go to Catalog and stop the distribution to that group (may leave distributions to other active groups). 
    For policies and rules go to the group name in User/Groups, click on More, and choose Change Policy or Change Rule. 
    Clicking the " - " minus sign to the right of the current assigned rule or policy will remove it, just save the change. 
    This should be done for all distributions to the group. 
    You should then be able to disable or delete the group as appropriate; note this applies equally to Device Groups.

    Thanks so much Eamonn.  That was driving me crazy.  In my case it was a policy.  I had tried many times to change the policy to the default option and save, but it was not available.  The little minus symbol (in my case it was a little x), was the key to unlinking that security policy.
