Delete Group

The Delete Group command, accessed in Administrative Tools under the Groups tab, deletes the selected group(s) from the system. A message will appear confirming the deletion since this will permanently delete the groups (but not the associated users) from the database.

 

 

Once a group is deleted, it cannot be restored unless it is re-imported from an existing export file. Though groups must have unique names, the true unique identifier for a group is its ID. Deleting a group and creating a new group with the same name will result in a different ID. This prevents a new group from assuming the permissions assigned to an earlier group.

 

NOTE:

What privileges are required to delete a group? To delete a group, you must have System Administrator privileges. Project Administrators can grant groups permission to access a project, but System Administrator permission is required to create, delete, or otherwise change a group.
