Atlassian Administration Groups - Sandbox

Bart van Wijk

Hi, 

I'm planning to migrate Jira from Data Center to the Cloud with a Enterprise-license.

My question is about the Groups in the Atlassian Administration during a migration to the Cloud (Jira).

What is the best way (best practice) to clean up those Groups that have been migrated and tested during a migration in a Sandbox site, but you don't need anymore after your done with the migration? So that after testing you start with a clean environment, with only the Groups you want to keep. (I have not created the Sandbox site just yet, that I will use during those test migrations)

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Bart

Hi @Bart van Wijk 

If your organization have the classic format, you don't need do anything, because the directory of the groups in sandbox was completely separated of the production.

If your organization have the centralized format, to clean up you could create a script using this endpoint to delete the groups:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/organization/rest/api-group-directory/#api-v1-orgs-orgid-directory-groups-groupid-delete

To check the organization format: if the users and groups are in Directory Screen with managed accounts, you have a centralized, and if the users and groups are in the site management, you have a classic format.

I hope help you.
