Deleting Permission Groups
Permission groups can
be deleted by the site administrator(s) with the site administration
panel. If you delete a group, make sure content providers who are
using that group receive new connection keys with an assignment
to another existing permissions group.
To delete a permissions
group, access the Contribute site administration panel.
- Highlight the existing group you wish to delete
- Click the "Delete" button
- Confirm the deletion
Your permission group
will disappear from the list. You cannot undo the deletion of a
permission group, so exercise caution and be sure you are deleting
a group where content providers have been re-assigned or removed
from the site.
Removing a single user
from a permission group
Contribute does not support
the removal of a single user from a permission group. If you need
to remove a single user from a group, rename the group and redistribute
it to the users you want to include, and delete the old group.
If your site is
on www.bu.edu and the user should have all access to your site removed,
you must notify us so we can change the user's privileges on the
server. Use the Add/Remove
Site Contributors form. Failure to submit this request will
allow the user continued access to the site using software other
than Contribute, such as Dreamweaver, any stand-alone FTP client,
or even by command-line using a shell application.
Additionally, to avoid
confusion in the future, we recommend deleting the user’s
connection from their personal copy of Contribute.
