Problem:
When a user is deactivated in monday.com, the automations they own can become orphaned or harder to manage. This creates operational risk, especially when critical workflows depend on those automations and no clear owner is assigned.
Proposed Solution:
Automatically transfer ownership of all automations belonging to a deactivated user to existing board editors.
Suggested logic:
Identify all boards where the deactivated user owns automations
Reassign ownership to users with βEditorβ permissions on those boards
If multiple editors exist, either:
Distribute ownership evenly, or
Assign to the board owner as fallback
Impact:
Prevents broken or unmanaged automations
Maintains continuity of critical workflows
Reduces manual cleanup work for admins
Use Cases:
Employee leaves the company
User access is revoked due to role changes
Temporary accounts are removed
Priority Justification:
This fixes a structural weakness. Automation ownership should never depend on a single inactive user. Without this, teams accumulate hidden risk.
