Removing Accounts from Groups

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 them from the group. When you do so, any entitlements and delegations they received from the group via a policy are handled in accordance with that policy.

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

This topic demonstrates how to remove an account from a group in EmpowerID.
