Originally created by @R-Nabil on GitHub (Sep 8, 2024).

Describe the problem

Fairly simple : you create a setup-key assigned to a group. Then you revoke that setup key, and actually want to get rid of this group as well. However, you can't get rid of the group as the setup-key, even revoked, is considered part of the group.

To Reproduce

See above

Expected behavior

Be able to delete group with unused setup keys.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Yes but similar in selfhosted.

NetBird version

Not sure if relevant here but : 0.28.9

Hi @R-Nabil,
this is how the system works right now. I do see the point that it is not particularly user-friendly. I will put this as a feature request for us to think about ignoring it for revoked keys and do the cleanup automatically on group deletion.

I’ve tried to use the API to reassign the keys to a different group (temporary workaround).

Would this group eventually be deleted when those keys expired ? Can I expire them through the API ?

You don't need to reassign them, if you just clear the groups a key can belong to no group. Groups will not be deleted if the keys are revoked. You can expire keys over the API, yes.
