You can remove users or groups from a group in both Sybase Central and Interactive SQL.

Removing a user or group from a group does not delete them from the database (or from other groups). To do this, you must delete the user/group itself.

Only a user with DBA authority can revoke membership in a group.

When you add a user to a group, the user inherits all the permissions assigned to that group. SQL Anywhere does not allow you to revoke a subset of the permissions that a user inherits as a member of a group because you can only revoke permissions that are explicitly given by a GRANT statement. If you need to have different permissions for different users, you can create different groups with the appropriate permissions, or you can explicitly grant each user the permissions they require.

Example

Remove the user M_Haneef from the personnel group:

REVOKE MEMBERSHIP
IN GROUP personnel
FROM M_Haneef;
