Considerations
A SharePoint site discovered with a group will also be visible on the SharePoint listing page.
Enable, disable, or delete groups
Ensure you enable the group which you want to back up. Groups configured using auto-configuration settings will automatically enable the group for backup.
Considerations
- Disabling a group will stop all the backups for a group.
- Delete a group if you no longer want a specific group configured with inSync.

Procedure
-
Sign in to Druva Cloud Platform Console and navigate to Microsoft 365 > Groups.
-
Select a group that you want to enable, disable, or delete.
-
Click
and click Enable, Disable, or Delete as per your requirements.
Considerations
- The enable, disable, or delete operations you perform from the Groups listing page will synchronize with the SharePoint site listing page.
- For deletion, you need to enter a reason for deletion which is displayed on the Admin Audit trail. Deleting a Group stops any ongoing backup, restore, or download tasks.
- All the data backed up for Groups will be deleted temporarily. You can roll back the deleted Groups within a configurable rollback window. After the rollback window expires, the Groups will be deleted permanently. For more information, see Rollback Actions.
Note: You cannot delete Groups if it is enabled with Data Lock.
Filter groups
You can search for a specific group or filter them using predefined categories, such as Type, Last Backup Status, App Status, and Privacy settings.
