Deleting a Group

Perform the following steps to delete an existing Group from the AWMS database:
1. Browse to the Groups > List configuration page.
2. Ensure that the Group you wish to delete is not marked as the default group. AWMS does not permit you to
delete the current default Group.
3. Ensure that there are no devices in the Group you wish to delete. AWMS does not permit you to delete a
Group that still contains managed devices. You must move all devices to other Groups before deleting a
Group.
4. Ensure that the Group is not a Global Group which has Subscriber Groups, and is not a Group that was
pushed from a Master Console. AWMS will not delete a Group in which either of those is true.
5. Select the checkbox and select Delete.

Changing Multiple Group Configurations

Perform the following steps to make any changes to an existing group's configuration:
1. Browse to the Groups > List configuration page.
