[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Windows only ASDBMI]

[!INCLUDE support-notice]

Delete users or groups when you no longer want them to access [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm].

• If you delete a user who is a member of a group that has access to [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm], then the user can still access [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] until you remove the user from the Active Directory or local group.

• If you delete a group, all users from the group who have accessed [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] are displayed in the Users list until you delete them.

• Changes to security are not propagated to the MDS [!INCLUDEssMDSXLS] for 20 minutes.
