Home / Identity Administration / User Accounts and Groups / Current: Removing Accounts from Groups

When user accounts no longer meet the criteria for belonging to a group, you can remove those accounts them from the group. When you do so, any entitlements and delegations they received from the group via a policy will be are handled in accordance with that policy.

For example, if you have a group with anan Exchange mailbox RET policy that specifies the mailbox be deprovisioned when a member is no longer a member, removed users will lose their mailboxes.
