1. How to delete old groups and their ACEs not used any more.

In case if you changed your access concept and you need to delete a lot of old groups placed in different hierarchical folders as well as all old groups ACEs the next way will reduce your time by doing it automatically and quickly:

• leave the old groups inside of yaml config files;
• redefine the group property "path" to the "/home/groups/oldgroups" for example;
• delete the membership properties "isMemberOf:" and "members:" from configuration of old groups in the yaml config files;
• delete ACE configuration of old groups under the "- ace_config:" section;
• install the new configurations to AEM;
• trigger the 'execute' method of the AC service (all ACEs of old groups will be deleted);
• after that you can delete the old groups under "/home/groups/oldgroups" over CRXDE for example.
