Deleting a Site Group

You can delete a site group from a SharePoint site.

Notes

• If a member of the site group that you delete is not a member of another site group on that site, the member can no longer view or access the SharePoint site.
• You cannot delete the Administrator site group.

To delete a site group, you must at a minimum be a member of the Administrator site group on the portal site. You can also delete a site group if you are a member of the SharePoint administrators group or if you are a member of the local Administrators group on the front-end Web server on which the portal site is located.
