Use MIF to remove users from security groups

From: Matt (2013-04-09 15:52)

Hi,
We currently load user security permission using MIF as we have many groups and requests per day.
We had a request to remove a load of groups from users the other day so tried using the same MIF connector (which has a operation of 'Sync') and instead of using the normal 'Add' action in the file header, I replaced it with 'Delete'
When I run it with 1 line I get the following error;
BMXAA5598E - Processing of an inbound transaction failed. The processing exception is identified in document 1.
BMXAA4214E - An unknown error has occurred.
Please contact your system administrator for assistance.
null
To confirm this is hitting the groupuser table...Has anyone used the delete action before to update security groups?
Many thanks,

I've never used the MIF for this, so can't comment on that specifically, but out of curiosity, why not use the "Set Security Profile" option from the list page for the affected users?

Are you trying to remove users from groups or delete groups?

Hi,
to confirm I am trying to remove a user from a group,... not delete the actual security group itself.
As we have potentially 100 users and they may be in 20 groups or so that need to be removed,.. I was trying to do this via MIF as it would take a while doing this manually through the gui,
thanks,

Is your object structure just group user or does it have maxgroup too? It sounds like you need the delete action on the nested data not the main data.

Hi,
We only have groupuser object on the structure,.. we haven't added the maxgroup object as this only contains the actual security groups, not the relationship between users and groups.
Using this adapter for adding groups works fine,.. possibly I need to create a new adapter with an operation for Delete instead of having sync and an action of delete on the csv file,...
thanks,
