Notes on Deleting Departments

You cannot undo the deletion of the department.
Deleting a parent department will delete its child departments. -
If you delete a department, it will also be deleted from the "Membership" of the member user. The user will not be deleted.
-
The users who lost membership by the deletion of the department will be categorized as "Unassigned Users".
Permissions Associated with Departments
If you delete a department, the access permission granted using that department is also deleted.
Depending on how access permissions were configured, some view-restricted data could be publicly accessible.
Take an example of a situation that only the members of "HR Department" are granted to view the "employee directory app". In this case, deleting "HR Department" from Kintone Users & System Administration could make the app visible to the whole company.
