What happens to the ownership of tests after removing the user that created them?

Does the user’s tests stick around or are they deleted with the user? Additionally, if that user is re-added to testiny, is their ownership of their previous test cases restored? any other caveats to note? I just want to be sure noting unexpected happens! Thank you

Hi and welcome to the Testiny forum!

TLDR: each user has a unique ID, as long as you don’t set a new owner for a test case, the user will keep ownership of the test case.

Longer answer:

First and foremost: no test cases are deleted if a user is deactivated or removed from an organization. (And even deleted test cases could be restored, just for info.)

If you deactivate a user, i.e. uncheck the “Active” checkbox in the user management, the user can no longer log in to the organization, but the test cases will still have that user as owner and his name will also show up in the test case.
If you activate the user again, it’s as if the user was never gone.

If you completely delete/remove a user from your organization, the owner of the test cases will still be that user, but it will show up as <deleted user> in the test case.
If you re-invite the user to the organization, the user will also regain ownership, his name showing up in the test case again.
