Delete organizations

You can delete any organization or sub-organization that you no longer need. Deleting an organization removes all the resources available inside the organization: users, translation memories, termbases, sub-organizations and libraries.

Before you begin

Make sure your account has the permissions required to delete all types of resources available in the organization. You can only remove the resources for which your user has Delete permissions.

About this task

You cannot remove the Root Organization. If your installation only includes MT Server, you can only delete empty organizations. This is because deleting an organization's resources is handled by the Execution Service, which is not deployed on MT Server-only installations.

Organizations are deleted as a background task. The task details shows information on task duration and the IDs of every resource deleted.

To delete an organization:

Procedure

  1. Go to the Users view.
  2. Under Organizations, select the organization you want to remove.
  3. Select .
  4. Select Yes in the confirmation message.

    If the resources have been created under the organization that you delete, these resources will be removed from Trados GroupShare altogether.

    If the organization that you delete is only referencing resources created under a different organization, these resources will still be available in the source organization.
