When you remove a group in Jira, the members of that group will lose access to the projects, issues, and other resources that they were previously able to access. This can significantly affect the workflow and productivity of the team members. Please note that removing a group in Jira is an irreversible action.

Additionally, any permissions, notifications, or other settings that were specific to that group will also be removed. This can disrupt the workflow and communication of the team members who were part of that group, as well as the team members who were not part of that group but were dependent on the permissions, notifications, or other settings that were specific to that group.
