Deleted User Cleanup
You can use this report to scan for inconsistencies associated to deleted users. Primarily this report will highlight where a resource has been marked in some way by a user who was subsequently deleted. For example, the user may have locked a resource and the resource has remained locked after the deletion of the user.
You have assigned the appropriate permissions to the cmadmin_service service user. If you want to transfer object properties such as Created By and Modified By from one specific user to another (for example, when a user has been deleted), you must have the Set System Properties permission assigned to the cmadmin_service service user.
To assign the required permission, choose
Content Management 
Utilities System Principals System User 
, and then open the
cmadmin_service user
for editing. Select the
Set System Properties parameter, choose OK, and then restart the Application Server Java (AS Java).
