Behavior when deleting and transferring users
Users can be deleted even if journal entries still exist. Existing journal entries are automatically converted into entries of an external user.
Before deleting a user, it must be ensured that the user is no longer assigned to any element as owner. If necessary, ownership rights must first be transferred to another user.
If user data is transferred to another user via user management, all associated journal entries are also transferred. This allows a user to be completely removed from the system in accordance with GDPR.
