Decommission an Org Unit

with Google Workspace · Identity & Access Management

Empty an org unit by moving its user out, then delete the unit.

  1. Read the source organizational unit to confirm it exists before emptying and deleting it.
  2. Patch the user's orgUnitPath to the destination unit so the source organizational unit becomes empty.
  3. Delete the now-empty source organizational unit.
What you'll need to have ready
  • accessToken: OAuth 2.0 bearer access token with the orgunit and user scopes.
  • orgUnitPath: The full path (minus leading slash) of the org unit to decommission.
  • userKey: Primary email, alias, or unique id of the user to move out.
  • destinationOrgUnitPath: The org unit path to move the user into before deleting the source.
