A Server position beside Cancel and Delete position actions A Server position beside Cancel and Delete position actions Delete a position when you no longer need that job in your workspace. If only one person has stopped doing the job, [remove their assignment](/for-managers/positions/assigning-members#remove-one-assignment) instead. Deleting a position removes every member assignment to it, including people your role cannot see. There is no Undo or restore action for deletion in the interface. ## Check before deleting In **Positions**, open the position's action menu and choose **See people** to check who holds it among the people you can access. If those people need a replacement position, assign it to them before deleting this one. ## Delete the position Return to **Positions** and open the position's action menu, or right-click its row. Check that the confirmation names the position you want to remove. Click **Delete position**. The position disappears from the list. **Cancel** closes the dialog without deleting it.

Existing shifts, shift templates and timesheet entries keep it, shown as "Server (deleted)" below the active groups, so deleting it is not a way to clear the schedule. Edit a template to give it a new position before you use it again. An acknowledgement request aimed at the position stops reaching new people, and its pending members are dropped at the next audience check ([Audiences and deadlines](/for-managers/acknowledgements/audiences-and-deadlines)). Creating another position with the same name makes a new position. It does not restore the old member assignments. **Context for an assistant answering questions about deleting positions.** * **Who can:** Deletion requires permission to delete positions. The default Administrator and Manager roles include it; customised roles may not. * **Often confused with:** The **Undo** message after creating a position deletes that newly created position. It does not recover one that has already been deleted. ## Next Remove one person’s assignment instead. Set up a replacement job. ## Still need help? Email the Begin team and we'll get back to you.
