In preparation for our upgrade to version 15, I'd like to delete some old (no longer used) user groups from the Security module. I've figured out which tables I need to delete records from and/or update in order to delete the old user groups, but thought I'd double check to see if the collective wisdom suggests NOT deleting those old user groups before I start.
Thanks!

I don't think there's much audit history covering security groups, so not much to lose there. Deleting them out of the security too might be easier than trying to find all the relevant tables in SQL, and will warn you if any users are connected to those groups.
I agree with Gawain. As long as you confirm that there is no need for those user groups currently (or potentially in the future), there should not be any big reason why you cannot delete them. I myself have changed the ids/renamed/deleted a few user groups and have not experienced any issues at all with it.
All the audit history really tends to go on the user itself. All you really lose is the knowledge of the fact that that user group had that access, which, if you want to delete the user group sounds like it is not of a concern to you.
