HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

When deleting a user group, all members of the group lose membership in that group, which causes those
users' authorizations, configuration rights, and login IP address restrictions to be updated based on their
new group memberships. Users that are no longer members of any user group are deleted from HP SIM.
CAUTION: Deleting a user or user group prevents the user or group from signing-in and removes all
associated authorizations and tasks that are owned by that user or user group.
NOTE: You cannot remove the last user account with administrative rights .

1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users.
2. Select the users or groups to be deleted.
3. Click Delete. A confirmation box appears.
4. to delete the selected users or user groups, click OK, or to cancel the deletion process and return to the
Users section, click Cancel . Deleting a user group also deletes all members of the group, and a second
confirmation box appears, listing which users will be deleted. To continue and delete all listed users,
click OK, or to cancel the deletion process and return to the Users section, click Cancel.
