Managing User Groups

Deleting Groups
The display shows:
ADMIN.FRAN is now responsible for managing membership in the PROG4 group.
However, ADMIN.FRAN has no authority to manage the user authentication records of
the group members. The owner of a user authentication record retains responsibility for
the administration of that user.
In this instance, ADMIN.DON retains administrative responsibility for PROG4.SUSAN
because he added her user authentication record with the ADD USER command. The
PROG4 group is the administrative group for PROG4.SUSAN.
Deleting Groups
The AUTO-DELETE flag in a group definition record indicates whether the group is
deleted automatically when its last member is deleted. Administrative groups that are
created with the ADD USER command are deleted automatically when the last user is
deleted from the group. Groups created with the ADD GROUP command are not
deleted automatically. You can have file-sharing groups without members.
To delete a file-sharing group, you must first delete all members from the group and
then delete the group itself.
Assume that ADMIN.DON wants to delete the group ProG4. Because no members
have been added to the group, he can enter this command directly:
=DELETE GROUP ProG4
