Delete a Federation™ role when you no longer need a federated system. You can choose to keep certain entities during the deletion process.

Before you begin

CAUTION:
Deleting a Federation role also deletes all its federated entities. Ensure your local system does not rely on these entities in automations (event-to-actions, scheduled tasks), maps, or hot actions, as related configurations might stop working.

What you should know

To reduce the impact of deleting a Federation role, release ownership of the following entities to your local Security Center system:
  • Cardholders
  • Cardholder groups
  • Credentials
  • Visitors
IMPORTANT: You cannot release ownership of certain entities, such as alarms, cameras, and doors. These entities will be lost. If you're unsure how this change affects your system, back up your Directory database before deleting the Federation role to preserve a way to undo this action.

For more information, see About releasing or reclaiming ownership of entities from a role.

  2. Right-click the Federation role and select Delete.
    A dialog box opens to inform you that the process takes time.
