Drop Group
Delete a user group from the system. Users belonging to the group are not deleted.
An Essbase group can be deleted in two ways:
From Essbase using MaxL or Administration Services. To do this, you must be an Essbase administrator.
From Shared Services. To do this, you must be a Shared Services administrator.
