Archiving a Group (Site) is a deliberate, multi-step process performed in the Admin Portal and ANVL Manager. Groups are not deleted. Instead, you must remove all Assignments, move users out of the Group, update the Group’s groupType tag to ARCHIVED, and rename the Group.
Archiving preserves historical data while preventing future assignments, deployments, and reporting impact. Do not proceed if users or Assignments remain in the Group.
Answer
Business Administrators archive a Group by:
Removing all Assignments
Moving all users out of the Group
Updating the Group Tag to
groupType:ARCHIVEDRenaming the Group to indicate archived status
This prevents future operational use while maintaining historical reporting integrity.
Steps
1. Remove Assignments from Users
Identify all users currently assigned to the Group.
Remove or clean up all active Assignments associated with those users.
Confirm no Assignments remain tied to the Group before proceeding.
Do not continue until all Assignments are removed.
2. Move Users Out of the Group
In User Management, reassign users to the appropriate active Group(s).
Use bulk update tools if needed.
Confirm the Group being archived has zero users assigned.
3. Update the Group Tag
Open Group Management in the Admin Portal.
Locate and edit the Group.
Update the Group Tags to include:
groupType:ARCHIVEDSave changes.
This removes the Group from active reporting and deployment logic.
4. Rename the Group
While still in Group Management, edit the Group Name.
Rename using the format:
ARCHIVE [Original Group Name]Save changes.
