I added a group to a site. The users were then added to the All Users group. I then removed the group, but the users remained.
Is there anyway to clean this up so that the users get deleted?
Thanks
To be clear, you want to delete the users that were in the group?
Creating and deleting groups does not create or delete users. To delete users you need to go to the users tab and select the users you want to delete.
Also, keep in mind that if the user owns content you will get a message saying:
"[user] was unlicensed" instead of the expected “[user] was deleted”
message.
The “unlicensed” message displays because the user who you want to
delete is a workbook or project owner and therefore cannot be deleted.
In other words, a user can only be permanently deleted from Tableau
Server if he or she no longer owns a workbook or project.

Tableau is not good with Active Directory when it comes to removing users. If you ADD Active Directory account and set up sync, it will add a new user who will be added in AD group but once you remove AD group it will not remove any users who were in AD group.
In order to remove those users, you need to go to all users and delete the Users manually which defeats the purpose of using AD groups.

I just stated working with a company that uses google workspace. They have a group distribution list that sends email to all users container. However, within all users container, there is also a container for Terminated Employees. Is there a way to set up the distribution list so that it doesn't forward the emails to the Terminated Users Container?
thanks,
Glenn
In this scenario you have two straight forward options so users stop getting those emails:
Remove terminated or suspended users from the group membership. Here you can check how to do it. https://support.google.com/a/answer/10284003
If for some reason you don't want to remove the user from that distribution list, you can disable the user from getting those group messages.
go to groups.google.com and choose the group in question.
Go to members, you will see all users in that group and under the "subscription" column choose "No email". That will stop the user from getting those group inbound messages.
For the second option you need to have the group "Owner" role otherwise you will have to login into the terminated user session to make these changes.
This is a few different questions.
First one is how do you delete a user group? I've seen the option for removing a group from another group, but I haven't been able to find an option for completely deleting the group.
Second is how do I set security so that users in a specific group can only view and run reports? So far, I've gone into User Security on the group, disabled inheriting from the parent group and folder, and set "View" and "View On Demand" in basic settings and "View objects" and "View objects that the user owns" in advanced. But regardless of what they have, either they can still move and delete reports or can't view anything at all depending on whether they're under the Administrators group.
Related to that last part of the second question, when the user group is a subgroup of Adminsitrators they can see all the tabs, but if I move them to the Everyone group, then they can't see anything when logged in when I set the Folders view on Configure CMC Tabs. Ideally, I'd like the users to be under a different group entirely for clarity, but then they can't seem to do anything, which definitely won't work.
Finally figured this out.
For the first one, I couldn't delete the group because it had customized security settings. After resetting those to the default inheritance and removing it from all other groups, I was able to delete it fine.
For the folders and running the reports, the security has to be set on the folder structure, not on the user group.
We just purchase tableau 10 and we are new to Tableau. I am having a following problem.
I am adding AD group to the site I created, it adds all user that are in AD group but when I want to remove AD group, AD group gets removed but all users are still listed under All Users. I am syncing Tableau with AD directory every 15 minutes and still they are listed there and all users in AD group are still able to signing in into Tableau Site. Any suggestion what I need to do ?
Ideally, deleting a group wont delete the users. To delete users you need to go to the users tab and select the users you want to delete.

I have deleted users from moodle but the deleted users still show up in the users list with ability to undelete them. Is there any way to remove the deleted users from the users list.
Only with SQL - exercise with caution though
DELETE FROM mdl_user WHERE deleted = 1
This is after you have deleted the user via the front end - which will (in theory) delete all the users data.
I am a confluence administrator and I am trying to set up permissions for a recently created space.
I added a new group (call it "my-group-admin") and gave it full access. I added that group to the space.
Now I am trying to add users to that group but every time I do so, it just fails silently. (The group admin screen returns showing the group with the message "No users found")
Any ideas why this might be happening or how best to add users to this group?
I am using version 5.5.4 of Confluence.
