What happens to an alert when a user is deleted/deactivated?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious to know what happens to an alert when a user is deleted or deactivated - is there any difference between the two? Is the alert also deleted, or does it become deactivated? 

Thanks,

Ben

Here is a good summary of what happens when user is disabled vs deleted. For a deleted or disabled user, behavior is same:  alerts will remain active but are not visible or editable from the dashboard on which the alert is set unless self-assigned by another active user. Admins can edit or self-assign the alert from the Alerts management admin page in the Admin panel.

But keep in mind owner/location of the dashboards with the alerts (objects in deleted user’s personal folder will be moved to Trash and would need to be recovered by an Admin).

Does deleting a user deletes the project also?

@LookerFreak no it doesn't
