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.

Note: To delete an Organization that has Sub-Organizations, you have to first delete all its Sub-Organizations. For Organizations that have Sub-Organizations, the Delete button is enabled only when all the Sub-Organizations are deleted.
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.
