What happens to shared dashboards from deactivated user accounts?

Does anyone know the specifics of what happens to reports and dashboards in a personal workspace after that user's account is disabled/deleted? For example, the user creates a report, pins a tile from the report to a dashboard, then shares the dashboard with colleagues. If that user leaves the organization, will others still have access to the shared dashboard and underlying report? Is there any way to retrieve the underlying report PBIX or migrate to another user's workspace at that point?

Hi @mattchaplin,

 

I think these files are in workspace, even if the user has been deleted.

 

>>If that user leaves the organization, will others still have access to the shared dashboard and underlying report? 

Dashboard can be accessed but them can't get data from owner, so these tiles will show no data or other related error messages.

 

>>Is there any way to retrieve the underlying report PBIX or migrate to another user's workspace at that point?

Currently, power bi can't modify the deleted users file.(I also haven't find the document mention how to modify these files)
