Hi,

are you sure, that you really want to do that? remember the merge function (note 113290), that will propably insert many authorizations again.....

Nevertheless, use the menu->Edit->Delete inactive (Shift+F2)

Hi,

I agree with Bernhard that we should not delete the inactive objects as it will result in addition of more authorization objects.

Else the way to delete is inactivate the object and right next to it you have the delete button.

Thanks.

Hi

If any object is inactive at role level then, it s already equal to delete state,,,,

even if it exists in role then there is no harm.

If still you want to delete it just click on the delete option which exists left to the inactivated object

thnks

Nevertheless, use the menu->Edit->Delete inactive (Shift+F2)

It will not delete inactive objects with status Maintained & Standard. Which is good. But I guess OP has some other things in mind. Did I not say, it might lead to misery

Hi Thiyagu.

In addition to Bernhard & Arpan's inputs,Since the number of Manually maintained objects (Inactive Status) is very less in a role, the majority of them are left behind for manual clean up. As a best practice , Inactive objects are retained in roles to have some history in case of any audits and also to maintain the object dependency to see why the object got into the role ... It helps any new security admin's to steer through audits when old timers move out ...

Hope it helps.

Hi Sri,

Auditors will not worry about inactive objects in roles. Most of them do not understand what object statuses mean.
