Seeking recommended steps to delete "All Company"
Hi Parul
While the "All Company" system community can be treated in many ways like any other community, a few things make it unique.
- It adds/removes users automatically, unlike other communities which require users to join on their own or a dynamic group needs to be used to auto add users based on user property rules
- Once deleted, no other community can replace it or be designated as "All Company" with the same behavior
- It is the only default community in Engage
Based on my own experience and research, there is not an option to recreate the "All Company" community with a new community after the default is deleted.
It's possible there is a way to mass delete all posts in the "All Company" community with a script but I'm not a script expert so the idea would need testing. You could also reach out to Microsoft in case they have a trick up their sleeve.
In general, I would not recommend deleting the default "All Company" community or its associated M365 group due to the risk of losing functionality or disconnecting the group from the community.
