# Deleted Users and the Impact on Existing Resources

When a user is deleted from your account, the associated resources created by that user will be affected. The following table summarizes how resources are affected by its user deletion:

If an administrator deletes the user who is the owner of an audience, the workflow of the audience will fail. When you encounter this failure, you need to request us to change the Audience owner, also known as Master Segment owner, to another user before the deletion operation.

| **Object** | **Re-Assigned To** | **Status** | **Notes** |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- |
| API keys | Owner or an Administrator can specify reassignment | Deleted or Reassigned | The authority level of the deleted user is changed to the level of the re-assigned user. API keys that are deleted are invalid and cannot be reused. When an API Key is reassigned, the new owner will receive a notification via email. |
| Audience (or Master Segment) owner | n/a | Deleted | If you delete the user that is the owner of an audience, the workflow associated with the audience fails.To fix, request a change of the audience owner to anyone other than the user who needs to be deleted.In addition, if Audience Column Visibility Control is enabled and the user to be deleted is the owner of Activation, you need to update the Activation with the other user. |
| Databases | Account Owner | Continuously available | The Account Owner is notified by email. |
| Tables | (None) | Continuously available | - |
| Treasure Insights | n/a | Deleted | All dashboards associated with the user are deleted.Data models owned by a deleted user will not be deleted, however, you will need to contact TD support to reassign ownership of the data model. |
| Authentications | (None) | Continuously available | - |
| Sources | Account Owner | Available | The Account Owner is notified by email.The schedule is deactivated. Re-enable it manually, as necessary. |
| Queries | Account Owner | Available | The Account Owner is notified by email. The schedule is deactivated. Re-enable it manually, as necessary. |
| Jobs | (None) | Continuously available | However, scheduled data transfers are stopped. |
| Workflows | (Owner is invisible) | Continuously available | Limitation: The Treasure Data related operators in the workflow (such as td>, td_run>) fail if the **td.apikey secret** is not set for projects that the deleted user created.To avoid failed runs, set the td.apikey secret. Refer to [workflow secrets](/products/customer-data-platform/data-workbench/workflows/about-workflow-secret-management). (Note: The failure notifications from TD workflows may not work as expected when the Workflow owner is deleted) |
| Permissions | (None) | n/a |  |
| Policies | (None) | Available | if a deleted user was sole user-assigned, the policies are still visible but not active because no user is assigned. |
