9.8 Enabling, disabling and deleting

  • Enabled off: the group is ignored. Its machines move to the next matching group or to Default at their next sync. Items assigned only to this group reach nobody while it is off.
  • Delete:
    • The console refuses while labels or rules are assigned to the group: This group cannot be deleted because it is in use: N label(s) and N rule(s) are assigned to it. …. Remove or move these assignments first.
    • The server refuses to publish while machines are manually assigned to the group: Agent(s) are assigned to a group being deleted: … First move these machines to (default) or another group from the Agents tab.
    • Remove the group from screen watermark rules, screen capture rules and awareness messages too. The delete check does not count them. Watermark rules and awareness messages that still name the deleted group make Publish & Sign fail.
    • Otherwise confirm Are you sure you want to delete the group “…”? To only disable it, turn off the Enabled switch instead of Delete.
