Deleting an Azure Security Group with the Web Interface
You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to delete an Azure Security group from an Azure tenant. This is typically required when the group becomes redundant or is otherwise no longer required, for example because of a security policy change.
|
CAUTION: Deleting an Azure Security group is a destructive operation that will delete the group from the Azure tenant on the Azure Portal as well. |
To delete an Azure Security group
-
Navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Security Groups.
The list of existing Azure Security groups in the selected Azure tenant appears.
-
Select the group that you want to delete.
-
In the right-side pane, click Delete.
-
A confirmation dialog appears. To confirm the deletion of the group, click Yes.
The selected Azure Security group is then deleted from the Azure tenant.
