When a team no longer reflects how your organization works, for example after a project ends or a department is reorganized, deleting it keeps your list of teams clean and removes access that's no longer needed.Why delete unused teams?#
Tighter security. A team that still has access to projects, assistants, or corpora keeps granting that access to its members. Deleting it removes access that nobody needs anymore.
Less confusion. Fewer, up-to-date teams make it easier to choose the right one when sharing resources.
Simpler audits. A clean team list makes it easier to review who can access what.
Before you delete#
Deleting a team can't be undone. Members lose any access they had only through this team; access given to them directly or through other teams isn't affected. If you might need the group again, consider removing members instead. See Edit a Team.Use cases#
Finished projects: After a temporary "Q3 Audit" team finishes its work, delete it. Everyone in the team loses access to the audit corpus and assistants at once, without anyone removing each person from each resource.Reorganizations: When two departments merge, delete the old teams once their members are in the new one, so people don't share with a team that no longer exists in practice.If you might need the group again, remove its members instead of deleting the team.Only Global Admins and Application Admins of the organization can delete teams.
