Configure Group Linking to delete application groups

You can use Group Linking to delete groups imported from provisioning-enabled apps. To do so, you must first create a new group in Okta and link it to the app group that you want to delete.

  1. In the Admin Console, click Directory > Groups.
  2. On the Groups page, click Add Group.
  3. Enter a name and description that you can associate with the app group you want to delete, and then click Add Group.

To link your Okta group to the app group you want to delete:

  1. In the Admin Console, click Applications > Applications.
  2. Select the app that contains the group you want to delete. In the Push Groups tab, click Refresh App Groups.
  3. Click Push Groups, and then select Find groups by name. Search for the new Okta group.
  4. In the Match result and push action drop-down menu, select Link Group, and then choose the app group that you want to delete. Click Save. The linked app group is now owned by your Okta group.

To delete the app group:

  1. In the Admin Console, click Directory > Groups.
  2. Select the Okta group that you linked to the app group.
  3. On the Group page, click Delete Group and then Delete Group in the verification dialog box.
  4. Open your Okta instance of the app and verify that the app group has been deleted.
