Exam SCA-C01 Topic 6 Question 117 Discussion

Deleting a user in Tableau Server involves handling their owned content (workbooks, data sources)-let's analyze the process:
* Deletion Rules:
* Ownership Check: Tableau prevents deletion if the user owns content to avoid orphaning it.
* Action: Instead of deleting, the user's site role is set toUnlicensed, retaining their account and content ownership.
* Resolution: An admin must reassign ownership (e.g., viaUsers > Actions > Change Owner) before deletion.
* Option D (User switched to Unlicensed and NOT deleted): Correct.
* Details: Attempting deletion (e.g.,Users > Select User > Actions > Delete) triggers a check. If content exists, the user becomes Unlicensed-still in the system but unable to log in.
* Why: Protects data integrity-content remains accessible for reassignment.
* Option A (Deleted, content to server admin): Incorrect.
* Why: No automatic reassignment to the server admin-manual action is required first.
* Option B (Deleted, content to project leader): Incorrect.
* Why: Project leaders don't automatically inherit content-no such mechanism exists.
* Option C (User and content deleted): Incorrect.
* Why: Tableau avoids deleting content with the user-too destructive without explicit intent.
Why This Matters: This safeguard prevents accidental data loss, ensuring admins manage ownership transitions deliberately.
