Deleting an Organization

On the Organization Overview page, you can delete the existing Organizations in an Area. Some scenarios where an Organization or Sub-Organization can be deleted are the following:

  • When a business unit in a company is to be dissolved.

  • Two business units are to be merged to form a new one.

  • The company no longer wants a Distributed API Management.

Deletion of Organization

On deletion of an Organization:

  • Portal Access Groups are deleted.

  • All the resources APIs, Packages, Package Keys, and Plans owned by the Organization are assigned to the Area and can be modified only by your company's Area Administrators. Hence, you can assign the resources to some other Organization or a new Organization, or the resources can continue to be in the Area, in case the company does not want a Distributed API Management.

Deletion of Sub-Organization

After deletion of a Sub-Organization:

  • Portal Access Groups are deleted.

  • All the resources APIs, Packages, Package Keys, and Plans owned by the Sub-Organization are assigned to the Organization and can be modified only by your company's Organization Administrators. Hence, you can assign the resources to some other Sub-Organization or a new Sub-Organization, or the resources can continue to be in the Organization in case the Organization and Sub-Organization are merged.

Procedure

  1. Click Organizations on the Get Started page or navigate to Manage > Organizations. This opens the Manage your Organizations page.

  2. In the Organization Name column, click the organization name link or the Actions (>) icon next to the row you want to delete an Organization. This opens the Organization Overview:<your organization name> page.

  3. Navigate to Organization Settings. This opens the Organization Settings: <your organization name> page.

  4. Click Delete.

    note

    For an Organization with Sub-Organizations, the Delete button will perform the delete action only when all the Sub-Organizations within the Organization are deleted.

    If you are trying to delete an Organization that has Sub-Organizations, then ensure you first delete all its Sub-Organizations.

  5. Click Confirm.
