The removeGroup() GraphQL mutation may be used to removes a group from LogScale. Only usable if roles are not managed externally (e.g., in LDAP).

For more information on user groups, see the Manage Groups documentation page.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the removeGroup() mutation field:

graphql
removeGroup(
      groupId: string!
   ): RemoveGroupMutation!

To be able to provide the groupId, you'll have to gete the unique identifier for the group. You can get that with the groupByDisplayName() , if you know the name of the group.

For the return value RemoveGroupMutation, you'll need to specify its only parameter, group (see the Returned Datatypes section below). But then you'll have to specify one of its parameters: id is the main one you'll need since it's key to getting and changing anything else for the group. See the example below for more clarity:

mutation{
  removeGroup(groupId: "BHdJstvjgDUjXg10KrbjiybpSbOHIw1b")
    {
      group { id }
