Mass deletion of user groups

Hi..
I wanted to delete a list of user groups in PRD system.
do we have any options to delete in mass, instead of deleting it one by one in SUGR. As we have SU10 for mass user changes.
Thanks...

Hi Deepan,
One way is
1. Go to SE16 -> USR02 table
2. Acquire the list of people belonging to the group you want to delete
3. Go to SU10 -> Click "Authorization Data" , Paste all the users copied in Step 2 and then execute and transfer the list to SU10 and delete all the users.
By the way, i don't recall the source, i read somewhere that it is not recommended to delete users in PRD.

Deletion of user group

hello,
I created a new user group ,i am trying to delete that group but it is showing the error like
user group XXXXX still used in master records.
thanks and regards
patan thavaheer

Hi Thavaheer,
which user group are you referring to? there are user groups in Ad Hoc queries, user Ids etc.
In case, its Ad Hoc query, then you can delete the user group only if no query is saved in the user group.
In case of user group of user IDs, if any user exists in the user group you won't be able to delete it.

Mass deletion of users business partner and position in SRM 4.0

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement of deleting 1000 + users who are locked in ECC from SRM Organization structure. For which I got the list of users who are under u201Cdeleteu201D group from table USR02. Then I found the business partner number of those users from table BUT000. Once I got the BP number I can do mass deletion of the BPs by using BUPA_DEL.
Now, my problem is I need to mass delete the position of the users as well. If I delete it one user at a time I can go to PPOMA_BBP and select the position and delete the object. Can anyone please help me on how can I do mass deletion of the positions of those users, its pretty urgent. I am waiting for your valuable suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Velu,
To find the business partner or the central person id we can' go to table HRP1001 and get the central person id / business partner by inputing the parameters in the selection field as :
Object type : CP / BP
Rel. Obj.type: US
ID rel. object : Give the id of the user
this shows the object id . Anyway thanks for your help .

How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
You should get the following output below what you entered:
GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users. Is the output what you expect?

My Contacts app has 100's of duplicate groups, is it possible to mass delete?

My Contacts app has 100's of duplicate groups, is it possible to mass delete?
These groups are a legacy of over a decade of mis-syncs (starting with Palm's crappy software, and then multiple simultaneous iTunes syncs). The app is so slow it's useless, and the database problem causes issues with my iOS devices too (a contact can take a over minute to save after editing).
I can delete the groups, but it takes about two minutes each (multiply that by hundreds )
I've found several "contacts cleaners" apps, but none remove duplicate groups.
I'm thinking that I might be able to export the entire database and edit it manually, but I don't know what steps to take.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Chas

Hey Linc,
Just in case anybody has searched this thread for a similar problem: taking all contacts out of the Contacts app doesn't erase groups: all my thousands of erronous groups remain (and still take up to a minute to delete each one, grrr).
I've gone into the XML files that make up the contacts database and I painstakingly deleted every file that was one of the offending groups. I thought that that should have solved my problem but, when I replaced all the files in the relevant place in the System, all those thousands of groups were still there in the Contacts app. I'm stumped :-( It could be that the database was repopulated by what was up on iCloud, but in that case I'm not sure how to consolodate everything so that one source propagates to the others (it's all complicated by the fact that my phone hasn't been sharing contacts that were created on it with iCloud, so I can't just erase it). Ahh, gotta love multi-variate problems!
Thanks again for the help, I do appreciate it.

Mass creation of common folders for different user groups

Hello Experts,
We are using Portal 7.0 SP12 and we have 10 different user groups created in Portal.
Based on this group structure, we need to create two common folders in each of the user's personnel documents in KM.
Is there is any way to achieve this kind of requirement ?
Can we do mass creation of these two common folders which will be assigned to all of the groups. This needs to be done in user's personnel documents and not in Public documents.
Any help in this context would be highly appreciated. points assured.
Thanks in advance,
Anil Kumar.

For every user a folder is created in userhome. One approach is to capture this folder creation event and create the folder structure you need. You need to develop a portal service which will listen to events from userhome repository.
1. Capture folder creation event for user home
2. Create the folder structure you want in this event handler
Check this documentation on how to do this.

Mac book pro Users & Groups deleting problems

I have a Macbook Pro, i believe its a 2008 15 inch, thats just come back from the repair shop.
I added another user (through Users and Groups) changed the settings so that person was the admin and deleted the original user.
Now after roughly an hour it is still saying that it is "deleting user" and if i try to close the window it says -
"System Preferences is busy and can't be closed. Users & Groups preferences is removing a user account and saving the Home Directory to a disk image"
How do i get about this? i do not want it frozen there, is that a way i can cancel all and start again or get it to hurry up and delete?
Thanks

You asked it to save the old User's files, and it is converting them to a Disk Image.
What you asked for is complex, and it will take some time.

How do I delete a User that does not appear in Users & Groups?

A leftover user (former employee account) that won't go away. Phantom User account becomes the default login account regardless of the new employee's login attempts. The phantom account Home folder appears in the Users folder at the root level, but not in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. I have logged in as tech admin and deleted the phantom User folder (while it is not the Home folder), but it comes right back again as soon as the new employee logs in as himself. ***???
I'd just updated this iMac to Yosemite, but this issue predates any specific OS update. Has persisted from 10.5 - 10.10. but is becoming an issue with permissions.
Any thoughts other than having to reinstall the OS from scratch? I was about to, but thought I'd see if anyone else has ever heard of this.....

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The Directory Utility application will launch.
In the application window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Locate the user you want to delete in the list and click the minus-sign icon at the bottom. Select Groups from the Viewing menu, and look for a group in the list with the same name as the user you just deleted. If found, delete. Quit Directory Utility.
Be very careful when editing the directory. Many hidden users and groups are present by default, and are needed for the normal operation of OS X. Never delete or modify a directory entry unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing. If in doubt, leave it alone.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

If you are admin.
Try restarting your Mac.

Will deleting user & group accounts make server inoperable or damaged? See ScreenShots

Should I delete the unknow users and groups below? I have no idea what there purpose or intent is.

Those entries are related to various operations operations of your system and your server. If you scroll down through that user list, you'll find the web server user; the environment that runs the Apache web server, for instance.
Bad Things will happen if you start deleting those users and those groups. OS X intentionally hides a number of users (technically those with user IDs below 500) just because folks were modifying or deleting them and getting into trouble. Some deletions might not be noticed, or might not be a problem until you need the associated component, and deleting certain other users could cause immediate problems.
If you wish to learn more about the Unix underpinnings of OS X (and OS X Server) and about the environment that these users operate in, then that will probably best be via the command line and Terminal.app and more direct exploration of the Unix command line and operating system.
Otherwise, you will probably want to disable viewing the system accounts, and leave those existing entries unmodified.
In general, I'd avoid deleting and modifying bits, at least to start with. If (when?) you do decide to start making to hidden users and Unix-layer settings, either use a test system, or have a backup should the modifications not work out, or both. Have a path to recover your data.

Using the WLS 7.0 default realm can users/groups be added/deleted within a web app?

If I use the default realm provided in WebLogic Server 7.0,
is it possible for me to programatically add/delete users/groups
from within a web application? Is there an API I can use to
add/delete users/groups from the embedded LDAP server? Or can
you only add/delete users/groups using the WebLogic Admin Console?

Tom,
The below is the program for creating a new user:
import weblogic.management.MBeanHome;
import weblogic.management.configuration.DomainMBean;
import weblogic.management.configuration.SecurityConfigurationMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.RealmMBean;

import weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication;
import javax.naming.NamingException;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;
MBeanHome mbh;
try{
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" );
// use administrator account in order to create a user
env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "system" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "weblogic" );
Context ctx = new InitialContext( env );
mbh = (MBeanHome)ctx.lookup( "weblogic.management.home.localhome" );
catch( NamingException e ){
throw new ServletException( e.toString() );
DomainMBean dmb = mbh.getActiveDomain();
SecurityConfigurationMBean scmb = dmb.getSecurityConfiguration();
RealmMBean rmb = scmb.findDefaultRealm();
AuthenticationProviderMBean providers[] = rmb.getAuthenticationProviders();
for( int i = 0; i < providers.length; i++ ){
if( providers[i] instanceof UserEditorMBean ){
UserEditorMBean uemb = (UserEditorMBean)providers;
uemb.createUser( username, password, "dynamically created user" );
hope this helps,

I am not connected even though I am.
It is showing you are connected, but the signal strength is low.
bookmarks
Those are what is in the Favorites bar. They can be changed by deleting the from the Favorites bar. To add others, add them to the Favories bar.
How can you remove that app?
You can't.
Un-install CleanMyMac. It can damage the entire system.
Myth of the Dirty Mac

If you are going to re-install, make sure you have 1 or preferably 2 full backups using Time Machine and/or a clone.
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Mass assign users to user group in CMC

Hi
How can I assign several users to user groups in a single go in CMC?
I have all the users pulled across from SAP into BO and I am guessing there should be a way of doing this.
Thanks

the suggested method is to assign the SAP roles to enterprise groups and then have the security set at the enterprise group level. this protects the security from being removed if for some reason the SAP role is lost.
the same protection can be done for users data by adding enterprise aliases to the SAP accounts.
