When a user is deleted from VMware Aria Operations, the report schedules and dashboards created by the user are stored as orphaned content. As an admin user, you can transfer ownership of dashboards and report schedules created by deleted users.

From Where You Can Transfer Ownership of Dashboards and Report Schedules

In the menu, click Administration. From the left pane, select Management > Orphaned Content.

Orphaned Content Page

You can view a list of deleted users from the Deleted Users panel in the left pane of the Orphaned Content page. Based on your selection in the Deleted Users panel, the dashboards, and report schedules for the deleted user are displayed under the Dashboard and Report Schedules tabs in the Orphaned Content page.

As an admin user, you can take ownership, assign ownership, or discard orphaned dashboards and report schedules, from the Actions menu in the Dashboards and Report Schedules tabs. Enter the name or part of the name of a dashboard or report schedule in the Filter option and click Enter. The relevant dashboard or report schedule is displayed.
