Delete Group Smart Service

Overview

The Delete Group smart service allows you to select a group and remove it from the system.

Note:  The Portal Administrators and Document Administrators custom groups are built into Appian and cannot be deleted, even by system administrators.

Permissions needed

The Delete Group activity can only be executed by a system administrator or by an administrator of the group. Attempting to run this node without sufficient rights causes an error message to be sent to the process administrator and pauses the process.
