• Groups
• Provisioning
• Okta Classic Engine

Before starting, please take note of the following:

• Remove all groups imported from an application when they are no longer required. Group import cannot be disabled when group policy rules or mappings exist or when a group selected for deletion is assigned to an app.
• This applies to all integrations that support the Import Groups feature.
• If only a certain application group needs to be removed from Okta, this can be achieved by removing the group via Okta API. 

To remove the groups, the following steps must be taken:

1. In the Okta Admin Console, navigate to the Applications section.
2. Select the application from which the group was imported.
3. Navigate to the Provisioning tab.
4. In the left panel, select Integration.
5. Disable the Import Groups option.

6. A notification will appear indicating that this action will delete all groups provisioned from the application to Okta. The changes will take effect only after saving.
7. After saving, an import should automatically start in the background to pull the new provisioning info for groups.
8. If, for some reason, an import is not automatically started, perform a manual full import or wait for the next import to delete the groups.
