Documentation for Crowd 1.5. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

If your directory supports nested groups, the directory may contain groups which are members of other groups. This page tells you how to remove a group's membership of another group. Note that removing a sub-group does not delete the group.

About nested groups

Some user directories allow you to define a group as a member of another group. Groups in such a structure are called 'nested groups'. In Crowd, you can map any group to an application, including a group which contains other groups. Currently, nested groups are supported for LDAP directory connectors only. You can enable or disable support for nested groups on each LDAP directory individually. For more information, refer to Configuring an LDAP Directory Connector.

For more details about nested groups, refer to Nested Groups in Crowd.


To remove a sub-group,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.

  2. Click the 'Groups' tab in the top navigation bar.

  3. The Group Browser will appear. Select the directory in which you are interested, then click the 'Search' button to list all the groups that exist in that directory.
    You can refine your search by specifying a 'Name' (note that this is case-sensitive), or 'Active'/'Inactive' groups.

  4. Find the parent group in the list of groups and click the 'View' link next to that group.

  5. The 'View Group — Details' screen will appear. Click the 'Members' tab.

  6. Click the 'Remove' link next to the sub-group whose group membership you want to remove.
