NielsenPeter Auo-Update the Account Owner field if Account Owner becomes Inactive
I would like a way to update the account owner if the account owner becomes inactive.
Basically for example: Joe owns an account and Joe becomes inactive, somehow I would like the account owner to update to an active user "Active User" user id '00530000000eUnrs'. So any account that has a inactive owner would default to this same user.
Is there a easy solution for this?
Thanks for any help there
Since you can't put a trigger on User to udpate the accounts after you have innactivated the user because of a mixed DML exception, you need to make a util method that is @future that will take in the list of user Ids that are innactivated,find their accounts, and update them to the user you want. This will run the account moving in a separate thread to prevent the mixed DML exception.
I don't recommend hard-coding the user id in there and instead using a custom setting so that any testing around this will pass in other environments than the one in which you are developing (as user ids are global unique)
