Deleting Groups

You can delete these groups:

• Active or inactive groups
• Groups with or without users

Note: To delete groups, you must have Delete permission for Manage Group.

You cannot delete these groups:

• The default group for DWP user creation as seen on the Accounts tab.
• The IP-based group whose Authentication subtab contains IP addresses that require authentication as seen on the Accounts tab. As the following example shows, Default User Group (the Account's default group for users authenticated through DWP) has no Delete links in the Actions column.

You can access data about deleted groups for a period of time:

• Within 30 days of deletion, activity still appears in reports and quota logs. Within 365 days of deletion, activity still appears on the logs. Deleted groups are identified by the ** prefix in the group selection boxes.
• After 30 days, the group is removed from the Saved Charts | Report Groups list even if the deleted group was part of the original saved chart.

To delete a group:

• On the Groups tab's list, locate the group to delete.
• In the Actions column, select the group's Delete link.
  You are prompted to confirm the deletion.
• Click Yes to remove the group from the list.

Note: You can also delete a group in View mode if the Delete button is present.
