Deleting departments and users

Departments in an organization may merge or dissolve, or perhaps the department may test an application area that is no longer required. In such cases, an administrator can delete a department in Pega Robot Manager™.

Departments are units that depict the organization hierarchy. The departments inherit the package assignments. Users associated with the department can access assignments inherited by the departments. Packages can also be assigned to an individual user.

Before you delete a department in Pega Robot Manager, you must:

• Move all users assigned to the department and its subdepartments
• Remove all packages assigned to the department or its subdepartments
• Delete all associated subdepartments
