This topic demonstrates how to restore an Active Directory group that was previously deleted in EmpowerID.

To restore a group that was previously deleted in EmpowerID

1. In the Navigation Sidebar of the EmpowerID Web interface, expand Identities and click Groups.
2. From the Actions pane, click the Restore Deleted Groups action.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Deleted Groups lookup that appears, search for the deleted group you want to restore and then tick the box beside the group in the grid to select it.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Submit and then click Yes to confirm that you want to restore the group.
   
   
   
   
5. Click OK to close the Operation Execution Summary.

To verify that the group is restored in EmpowerID

1. Search for the group you just restored. You should see a record for it in the grid.
2. From the grid, click the Logon Link for the group.
   
   
   
   This directs you to the View One page for the group. View One pages allow you to view details about an object in EmpowerID and make changes to those objects as needed.
   
   
   
   
3. From the group's View One page, expand the Group Members accordion and verify that any previous members are added back to the group.
   
   

To verify that the group is restored in Active Directory

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers and search for the group you restored.
2. You should see the group exists in the OU you selected when you originally created it.
   
   
   
   
3. Open the Properties window for the group and click the Members tab to verify that all previous users are added back to the group.
