How to delete user personal collection?

How to delete user personal collection?

I even deactivated this particular user. But somehow if I know the link, I can still access it.

Many Thanks

Hi @eric.halim
You currently cannot delete (personal) collections. When you deactivate a user, then the collection is hidden, but the administrators will still be able to access the collection directly.

I see, ok...personally I think would be better when user deactivated then all his items / collections gets archived. I ended up manually removing his dashboards and questions manually one by one.

@eric.halim I think you're right - it's a bit more complicated, when you add pulses and alerts into the mix, but those should likely be removed/disabled as well.
We're digging into permissions overall in the upcoming 0.40 and will address a lot of inconsistencies.

@flamber wow that's great. we always grateful for any future improvements.
well done.

flamber - that's awesome!

If you are not already looking into it, one thing to look that I find a big security issue, into is that when you create a pulse (or when sharing or setting an alert on a goal) it automatically displays the list/email of all users on the system, even if they do not have the permission to view that table. I think that only the users that have permission to access the table being analyzed should be listed unless of course, full email addresses entered.

Hi!

Will there be another exploration into permissions? I'm currently on 1.41.6, and deactivating a person's profile still doesn't archive their personal collection.

Thanks!
