GroupID 10 - Self-Service

Business Requirement:

In the GroupID Self-Service portal, we don't want end-users to have the ability to delete groups, even if they are owners or additional owners of those groups.

Methodology:

We can hide the option to delete a group for a particular security role, such as end-users, while keeping it visible for admins. The delete button is available on the toolbars in group properties and on the search forms, so groups can be deleted from the search results as well. We need to hide the button on both the toolbars.

Steps:

  1. In GroupID Management Console, navigate to Self-Service > portals > [required portal] > Designs > [required identity store].

  2. On the Toolbars tab, select Group in the Toolbar Type drop-down list. Then select Delete in the Name list and click Edit.

  3. On the Toolbar Button Properties dialog box, select the visibility role as per your requirement. For example, if the end-users fall under the "User" security role in the identity store and GroupID admins fall under the "Administrator" security role, you can simply select Administrator to hide the button from all users except the admins.

  4. Next, we need to hide the delete option from the group search page. Simply select the toolbar type to Groups Search in step 2 and follow step 3 again.

  5. Further, we need to hide the delete option from the Default Search as well. Simply select the toolbar type to Default Search in step 2 and repeat step 3.

  6. Once done, save your changes by clicking the Save button (floppy icon) at the top left corner of the Designs page.

  7. Relaunch your portal and the option to delete a group will be hidden for users who fall in the ‘User’ security role.
