Hi,


Whenever an user with owner access is deleted, all the dasboard created by him are getting deleted. Also, those dashboards shared with others are also deleted. This looks like a critical issue, since the dashboard will be shared among other users, they won't be able to see any dashboard if the user gets deleted.

Atleast the dashboard shared with other users should be retained.

 

Thank You,
Deviprasad

Hello @devipras.

Thank you for providing your feedback.

I would like to get an idea what your preferred way to handle this is. Dashboards are linked to the user who created them for many reasons, and there is a message stating that the users' Dashboards will be deleted when the user is. What kind of flow would you like to see implemented?

Not OP, but I like this idea. Having the option to re-assign dashboards to another admin user could be one way of handling this?

I agree with OP, I would suggest ownership defaults to the Sys. Admin

 

Maybe, when a user is selected for deletion, raise a prompt with a list of their dashboards and the option to either delete or reassign.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. We will bring this up to the product team and post updates here. Please continue to offer input, it does help us.

We recently had this happen to us (luckily in a dev environment). In our case the user was deleted through an API call, not the web app. A resolution that only changes the prompts experienced through the webapp would not be sufficient guardrails. I'd prefer making the default behavior to transfer ownership to the sys admin or allowing for dashboards to be ownerless and provide the ability for an admin to change the owner on an ownerless dashboard.
