Delete an object

To delete an object:
  1. Ensure you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
  3. In the tree menu, select an object type. The content pane displays the objects for the object type.
  4. Select the object, and click Delete.

Deleting used objects

You can delete objects referenced by a policy or other objects. When deleting a used object, a dialog appears allowing you to view where the object is being used.

  • Click Where Used to see where the object is being used.
  • Click Delete Anyway to delete the object.

You can configure whether forced deletion of used objects is allowed using the following CLI command:

config system admin setting

set objects-force-deletion {enable | disable}

This setting is enabled by default, allowing administrators to force the deletion of used objects. Disabling this setting prevents the deletion of used objects.
