1. Re: Can a user be deleted from the server if they are the owner of a published data source or workbook?
paramasivan palanisamy Jul 18, 2016 10:35 AM (in response to Katherine Woods)You can goto data sources and filter by the user name who left the company and you can see all the data sources. Now you can select them all and change the owner/update the passsword. Hope this helps.

Katherine Woods Jul 18, 2016 11:22 AM (in response to paramasivan palanisamy)Yes, I got that playing around in the site. I am still wondering what happens if you delete a user from the server if they are listed as the owner of data sources and/or workbooks? Can you do that? And, if you do, what happens to the content, if anything.
If anyone has tried this and knows the answer, please let me know.

paramasivan palanisamy Jul 18, 2016 11:25 AM (in response to Katherine Woods)Tableau will not allow deletion of the user if they have any content.First you have change the ownership and delete the users or unlicense the user

Glen Robinson Jul 18, 2016 11:40 AM (in response to Katherine Woods)Regarding your question about AD synchronisation if an Admin account is deleted.
Tableau AD synchronisation is done using the Run As account that the Tableau Service is run under. (the one set on the Tableau Configuration Screen)
It doesn't use the accounts setup within Tableau Server itself.
Hope this helps

mark.welsh Aug 2, 2016 9:46 AM (in response to paramasivan palanisamy)I've changed ownership of all of a user's content, but Tableau will still not let me delete them, "because they own content". Is there a time lag before I can remove the user after changing ownership of his content?

Glen Robinson Aug 2, 2016 11:37 AM (in response to mark.welsh)A user's content can be Workbooks, Data sources and projects. You need to ensure that they have nothing assigned to them
If you select the user you will be able to see all content that they have ownership of on a single page

If you go to the projects page, there is a filter on the right hand side that lets you select projects for an individual.
