You cannot delete a Flow Model that is used for one or more Flows. If you want to delete a Flow Model that has Flows, first delete the Flows.

Set the visibility of your Flow Model

When you create a Flow Model you set your Flow Model type to Private or Shared. Setting a Flow Model type to Shared enables the ability to save and share Flows with users in your organization. Shared Flow Models count toward the Flow Model limit listed in your Splunk Business Flow license. Set Flow Models to Private for testing and development. Private Flow Models do not count toward the Flow Model usage. You cannot create Flows from a Private Flow Model. If you set a Flow Model to Private after you create Flows, you cannot access the saved Flows.

Prerequisite
In order to change the visibility of a Flow Model, you must be an admin or a member of the sbf_modeler role, or you must have the sbf_set_visibility_flow_model capability.The sbf_set_visibility_flow_model capability allows users to set the visibility of a Flow Model from Shared to Private and the reverse. You can explore a Private Flow Model, but you cannot save your work as a Flow. If you set a Flow Model to Private after you create Flows, you cannot see the Flows.

Steps

1. In SBF, click the Flow Model icon .
2. To set a Flow Model to Private, select Private under Visibility.
