From http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-2060

It probably is on the list somewhere, just wanted to make sure it is tracked.

Description:
I find it strange that I can't find an existing issue for this, so forgive me if it's a duplicate issue.

Once groups are created, they can't be removed anymore. There is no GUI feature available to do that (or really hard to find).

Actually, it's more general. Group management is missing. I can't rename them either.

I filed it as bug report, because it kind of is.

Reproduction steps:

Create new group
Remove group?

Agreed. The current way to remove a group is to unassign all users and it will just disappear. This is not a good idea, it should be explicit and sticky.

Speaking as another happy user, it's possible to "manage" this by digging directly into the database, but I agree that this isn't ideal. In case you've not even considered this, the relevant tables for local users are oc_group_user and oc_groups and if you know SQL it's pretty straightforward.

BTW, just in case it gets missed: I updated the issue later: renaming groups also isn't possible. There should be some form of group management.

I guess I could do it in SQL, but because the Owncloud DB doesn't use table records with primary/foreign keys and referential integrity checks, changing names is precarious. If you share to a group, for instance, the share is literally to that group name. If you then change it, it breaks.

This will be addressed in the user management redesign, where groups are listed in the sidebar, making it possible to add and remove them. #1927
