Disable a Group

Disabling a group turns off one test group in a multi-group experiment while the other groups keep running. Users assigned to the disabled group receive the default experience instead. Disable a group when one variant performs poorly or creates a bad user experience but the rest of the experiment is still valid. If the whole experiment is failing, make a decision and ship control instead.

What to expect when you disable a group

• Users already assigned to the disabled group receive the default experience.
• Statsig continues to assign new users to the disabled group, and those users also receive the default experience. Because assignment continues, the disabled group doesn't trigger a Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM).
• Statsig continues to show the group, log its exposures, and calculate its experiment results, so you can verify that user experiences recover after you disable the group.
