Delete unused roles

hcs-admin

Tip

Use the Action search to navigate Automate

This procedure deletes unused roles from all hierarchies or a selection of hierarchies.

The Delete Unused Roles tool allows you to delete:

• All unused roles

• Unused roles at specified hierarchies

• Unused roles down from specified hierarchies - with the option to select hierarchies

Note

• Only unused roles are deleted.

• Use this tool with caution since the transaction to delete unused roles can’t be rolled back.

Roles are used in for example the following functional areas:

• Site defaults

• Add admin user

• LDAP user sync

• Create a filter to move users

• Authorized Admin Hierarchy Roles

To delete unused roles:

1. Log in to the Admin portal as Hcsadmin.

2. Go to Delete Unused Roles.

3. At Would you like to delete unused roles at all hierarchies, choose delete options:

   • Delete unused roles at all hierarchies? Select Yes. Confirm your choice, then save. All unused roles at the current hierarchy and down are deleted.

   • Delete unused roles from selected hierarchies and define delete scope? Select No, then:

     • Choose hierarchy scope, either At or Down from a specific hierarchy, then choose options for the selected hierarchy, for example, all or a subset of your customers, resellers, or sites.

     • If deleting from a subset of a hierarchy, choose the subset (one or more customers, sites, resellers, and so on), depending on the selected hierarchy.

       

     • Confirm your choices, then save. Unused roles are deleted for the options selected.

4. Check the transaction log to monitor progress of the role delete. See Transaction logging and audit.
