Create A Taxonomy Group In SharePoint 2013 Using PowerShell

In this blog, you will learn how to create a Taxonomy Group in SharePoint 2013, using PowerShell and it will be useful for SharePoint admins. A group is a set of term sets that share common security requirements.

Steps

1. Open your SharePoint Management Shell.
2. Copy the code given below and paste it there.
3. Run the code given below to delete the SharePoint search component.

Code

$taxonomySession=Get-SPTaxonomySession -Site "https://gowtham.sharepoint.com/tutorials"
$termStore=$taxonomySession.TermStores["MMS"]
$group=$termStore.CreateGroup("MMSGroup")
$termStore.CommitAll()

Another Reusable code

function DeleteTermGroup
{
param([string]$site,[string]$termstoreName,[string]$groupName)


    $session = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession($site)
    $termstore = $session.TermStores[$termstoreName]
    $group=$termStore.CreateGroup($groupName)
    $termstore.CommitAll()

    Write-Output "Create $groupName"

Delete Term Group 

function DeleteTermGroup
{param([string]$centralAdmin,[string]$termstoreName,[string]$groupName)

    $site = Get-SPSite $centralAdmin
    $session = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession($site)
    $termstore = $session.TermStores[$termstoreName]
    $group=$termStore.Groups[$groupName]
    $group.TermSets|foreach{
        $_.Delete()
        $termstore.CommitAll()
    }
    $group.Delete()
    $termstore.CommitAll()

    Write-Output "Deleted $groupName"

}
