If your directory supports nested groups, the directory may contain groups which are members of other groups. This page tells you how to remove a group's membership of another group. Note that removing a sub-group does not delete the group.

To remove a sub-group:

1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
2. In the top navigation bar, click Groups.
3. Select the directory in which you are interested, then click Search.
   You can refine your search by specifying a Name or by choosing Active or Inactive groups.
4. Find the parent group in the list of groups and click the link on the group name to view the group details.
5. Click the Direct Members tab.
   This will display a list of the selected group's members, both the groups and the users that are direct members of the group.
6. Click Remove Groups.
   The 'Remove Groups' button will not appear if nested groups are not enabled for your directory. You can enable nested groups via the directory configuration screen.
7. Enter your search criteria in the Search textbox.
   You can enter all or part of the group name. Leave the search box empty to match all group names. You can refine your search by choosing Active or Inactive groups. You can also set the Maximum Results, i.e. the number of groups to be retrieved.
8. Click Search button.
   Crowd will list the groups in the selected directory that match your search criteria and are sub-groups of the selected group.
   Crowd will display a maximum number of groups as specified in the 'Maximum Results' field. If too many groups match the search, you can change the search criteria and click 'Search' again. (There is no way to move to the next page of matching groups.)
9. Select the groups by putting a tick in the checkbox next to one or more group names.
10. Click Remove Selected Groups to remove the selected sub-groups from the group.
