Removing Computers Using WebUI

[swfisher]

Is it possible to delete computers in the WebUI?

[DanieleColi]

Not yet.
The development team is working hard towards Console parity (you can do the very same thing with WebUI as well as Console, but with a better look). Stay tuned!

This capability now exists. As a master operator I can see the option to Remove Device via WebUI but for non-MO, how do I grant the permission?

[DanieleColi]

A NMO can delete his managed computers if Can Create Actions is set to YES:

But does that apply to the WebUI?
This non-MO has the ‘Can create actions’ permission but does not have the Remove Computer option in Web UI v10.0.8

[DanieleColi]

Yes, it should apply to the WebUI as well; operator permissions defined in Console are used by the WebUI, too. If the very same NMO is able to remove computers from the Console, then open a support case: an engineer will look into this discrepancy…

Regards.

I can confirm on my side it doesn’t work, too
I take it’s a defect to be fixed. As a workaround you can provide custom content privileges (just empirically found )

I was able to reproduce with adding Custom Content permission and how Remove Computer is an option but is a no go for this user. I’ll open a case.

thanks

That should also apply to the WebUI because it makes use of the operator permissions set in the Console. Open a support ticket if the same NMO may remove machines from the Console, and an engineer will investigate this issue.
