Delete from Windchill
It has the effect of deleting the organization participant from the Windchill database.
The results of deleting an organization participant from the Windchill database are as follows:
The organization is removed from all notification lists.
All access control rules that identify this organization are removed from the access control policy for a domain. If any users had access permissions derived solely from membership in the deleted organization, it may be necessary to create new rules to restore the lost permissions.
If the organization had been added to a local or shared team, the team membership shows the organization as deleted and, if a user was a member of the team only because he or she is a member of the deleted organization, then the user is no longer a member of the team. The deleted organization remains on the Members table so that anyone managing a team is aware of the deletion. The deleted organization row can then be removed from the Members table since the organization is no longer a member of the team.
