Deleting Groups
Group information is stored in Windchill group objects that are stored in the Windchill database (and referenced throughout Windchill) as well as in group entries that are stored in a directory service.
Deleting a group disables the corresponding Windchill group object and removes the group from all of the groups to which the deleted group was a member. This does not change users’ worklist access or access control permissions for participants that were in the group being deleted. However, users lose the navigation access defined for the deleted group, unless the user has permissions assigned at the user level.
When you decide to delete a group, you have the choice of either deleting only the Windchill references to the group, or deleting both the corresponding Windchill references and the group directory entry.

To delete group directory entries, you must have write permission to the directory service where the group entry is stored. Deleting a group does not delete the users who have the deleted group as their group attribute.

Deleting a group consists of two major activities:
1. Delete the
Windchill group references and, possibly, the associated group directory entries.
2. Clean up the associated worklist and access control permissions.
