Detach an ACL from a Group

Detaching an ACL removes it from the Group, but the ACL will still exist for re-use in other Groups. 

To detach an ACL, expand the "Applied ACLs" section under the desired Group, and click on the "Detach" button under the "Actions" column.

The ACL will be removed from under the Group, but will remain in other Groups it exists under, as well as be selectable from the "Add ACL" window and "Attach ACL" dropdown.

Delete an ACL

ACLs may be deleted through the "Edit ACL" interface. Click the "Add or Edit ACL" button under the "Applied ACLs" module for the DNS Group. 

Select the ACL you wish to delete from the "Create or Edit" selector. Then, click the red "Delete" button under the Networks field.

The ACL will be permanently deleted, and will no longer show under any Groups to which it has been attached, nor show in the "Existing ACLs" list.


Add an existing ACL to another Group

Existing ACLs may be added to as many Groups as desired. If ACLs already exist, clicking the "Add or Edit ACL" button will give an additional option to "Create New".
