What Happens When You Delete a Group link

Members Are Preserved link

All entities that were members of the group remain in your organization:

• Users retain their accounts
• Client secrets remain active
• Nested groups continue to exist

Permissions Are Removed link

Members lose the permissions granted by this specific group:

• If they have no other permissions, they lose access to organization resources
• If they belong to other groups or have direct permissions, those remain active
• Nested groups’ members lose permissions inherited through this group

Before Deleting link

Consider these questions before deleting a group:

1. Do members need continued access? Verify that users and client secrets have appropriate permissions through other means
2. Are there nested groups? Remember that members of nested groups will also lose the inherited permissions

After Deletion link

After deleting a group:

• The group name becomes available for reuse
• Audit logs will still show the deleted group’s activities
• You’ll need to recreate the group and reassign members if you need it again
