Resource Update node - Remove specific group(s)

In Resource Update node, I'm trying to delete a specific Group from the existing list. I only want to delete "Manager Self Serve" but instead it deletes all group the user has.

We also experienced difficulties with the Resource Update node. Rather than try to Delete. We used Update. However, we updated with a select role or blank role. We have not tried with multiple roles.

Try and see if that criteria works - Test Query in the Resource Query Builder - Criteria - Group = Manager Self Service

What I've seen done in the past is querying the groups (especially groups since these update differently than roles in my experience) and then deleting all groups and then adding back all the groups except for the one you want. Depending on your version of IPA you may have an issue using the delimiter to add more than one group at a time (CU 10.1.1.30 was the fix - KB1623987). You would have one RM query node then and two update nodes - one to remove all and one to add the groups you want back.

This is a little bit tricky. I do this for roles updates. You can feed in the new list of group/roles through data iterator after deleting them in prior node. I don't like to do all the group/roles at once because if some error occurs whole update fails. I prefer to go through iterator so at least some roles gets updated in case of an error.

Looping it through so only one is updated at a time is a great suggestion - thanks for the tip!

Nabil,

Could you please elaborate more? I list all groups in data iterator node but how would I delete the Manager group and keep others?

Thanks,
