  • Modify the org owner or org admin for any organization in the list. For example, to add or remove owners for an organization, select the organization's name within the list, then select the current organization owner in the resulting pane. After that, search for and select (or deselect) anyone you want to be (or not be) an owner for the org.

  • Assign yourself as an owner or admin should there be a need to directly administrate the org. This gives you complete managerial control over an organization. Screenshot showing how to update owners for an org.

Deactivate or delete an organization

  • You can deactivate an organization in Viva Goals using the steps below. Once you deactivate an organization, members of the org will not be able to access the org or change any of its content. Screenshot showing how to deactivate an org. Screenshot showing the org deactivation dialog.

  • You can reactivate the deactivated organization within 90 days if you want to allow members to use the org again. If you don't, the organization and all its contents will be permanently deleted 90 days after deactivation.

  • If you know you won't have any further use for the organization, you can delete it immediately. Note that company-wide organizations can't be deleted.

  • You have the option to notify the organization owners via email during deactivation or reactivation. Upon deactivating an org, org owners will receive email notifications after deactivation, 15 days prior to deletion, and after permanent deletion.

To enable this automatic deactivation, select the Organization Retention menu from the left panel, then enable Automatically deactivate organizations that are inactive for 60 days within the page.

  • You can also choose to notify the org owners. Upon the deactivation of an org, org owners will receive email notifications after deactivation, 15 days prior to deletion, and after permanent deletion. Screenshot showing how to toggle the automatic deactivation option.
