Deleting a Security Attribute Namespace

Delete a security attribute namespace in the Zero Trust Packet Routing (ZPR) service.

You must retire a security attribute namespace before you can delete it.

  • Caution

    When you delete a security attribute namespace, Zero Trust Packet Routing (ZPR) removes all the security attributes defined in the security attribute namespace from all resources in the tenancy, and then deletes the security attribute namespace.

    After you start the delete process, the following actions occur and restrictions apply:

    • New security attributes can't be created under the namespace.
    • The state of the security attribute namespace changes to Deleting.
    • The removal of security attributes from all resources begins.

    The removal process can take up to 48 hours depending on the number of security attributes in the namespace, the number of resources that are tagged, and the locations of the regions in which those resources reside. After ZPR removes all security attributes, the state of the security attribute namespace changes to Deleted. You can't restore a deleted security attribute namespace, but you can reuse the name of the deleted security attribute namespace after the deleted security attribute namespace state changes to Deleted.

    1. Open the navigation menu, click Identity & Security, and then click Zero Trust Packet Routing.
    2. Click Security Attribute Namespace.
    3. Under List scope, select a compartment from the Compartment list.
    4. Click the action menu for the security attribute namespace that you want to delete, and select Delete.
      Note

      The Delete button is enabled only for a retired security attribute namespace.
    5. Click Delete to confirm the action. The delete process begins.
      Tip

      You can also delete a security attribute namespace from the security attribute namespace's details page by clicking Delete .
