Once created, local group names cannot be changed. To change a local group name, you must delete the local group, then create a new local group, and add members to the new local group. Deleting a local group is a two-stage process; you must delete all members of the group before you can delete the group itself.

You cannot delete default local groups.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > File Services > Local Groups.
  2. Select Global Configuration or an individual security context from the list of EVS security contexts.
    Note:
    • If an EVS uses the global configuration, any changes made to the global configuration settings will affect the EVS.
    • If an EVS uses an individual security context, changes made to the global configuration settings will not affect the EVS. To manage local groups for an EVS that uses an individual security context, you must select the EVS individual security context to make changes.
  3. To delete all members of the group:
    1. Locate the group and click View.
    2. Select all members of the group, and then click Delete.
      Alternatively, click the delete icon associated with the member name.
    3. Click Delete to confirm.
  4. To delete the local group:
    1. Select the local group with recently deleted members, and then click Delete.
      Alternatively, click the delete icon associated with the local group.
    2. Click Delete to confirm.
