Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Delete group in Domino Directory

Delete group in Domino Directory
You can delete a group name using the Administration Process by initiating a Delete Group action from the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory or the Domino Administrator. The following flowchart shows the sequence of Administration Process requests that occur when you do this. (Boxes indicate requests.) The timing shown for each request is the default, which you can customize through the Server Tasks - Administration Process tab on the Server document.

When you delete an auto-populated group with one or more subgroups, the flow of administration process requests shown below is applied to each subgroup as well as the original group.
