How to Delete a Group in eADM Only

This guide explains how to delete a group from eADM without deleting it from the connected target systems, such as a local Active Directory (AD) or Azure AD.

It is critical to follow this procedure to ensure that groups are only unlinked from eADM and not permanently removed from your organization's directory services.

Warning: If you delete a group from the source data before you delete its anchor, the group will also be deleted from the target system (e.g., Active Directory) during the next synchronization.

Procedure

Follow these steps to safely remove a group from eADM while keeping it in the target system:

1. In eADM, navigate to Groups.

2. Search for and select the group you wish to remove.

3. Go to the Anchors tab.

4. Locate the anchor entry and click the delete icon (trash can) to remove it.

   • Note: Do not click "Restore Group" (Gjenopprett gruppe).

5. Next, navigate to Groups > Source Data for Manual Groups.

6. Search for the same group and delete it from this view.

Once these steps are completed, the group will be removed from eADM during the next synchronization cycle but will remain untouched in your AD or Azure AD.
