What happens to the events I've added in the team calender when my user is deactivated or deleted?

Question

Our team have a different set of recurring events, e.g. "Remember to do this action every 3 months". The events are not assigned to anyone, but more of a team responsibility.

We would like to use the team calendar in Confluence for this instead of e.g. MS Outlook or MS Teams, where a recurring event is linked to the person who created it, hence it is deleted once the creators account is deactivated or deleted.

To question is, similar to MS Outlook/Teams: "What happens with a recurring event created in a Team calendar by user X, when this users account is either deactivated or deleted"?

I have googled this, and found indicators that "personal content is deleted, while blogposts and pages are kept" . But I did not find information that explicitliy told me that calendarevents are kept or removed when the creators account is deactivated/deleted.

Thank you for replying, @Laurie Sciutti

"Test easily" is quite interesting - in a previous environment, yes. In the current one, not so much :D  Let's just say that "enterprise" is quite large and that there are some additional limitations that makes this a bit more difficult.  Maybe I should just set up a test-installation privately.

What puzzles me is that there is no obvious yes or no answer to this - my use case shouldn't be the only one in the world. But the answer in the forum, instead of "It will work like this", is more "maybe, you should test it" (no pun intended to your answer, Laurie).

Hello, @Ivar ~ as long as the events are added to a shared calendar rather than a user's personal calendar, they should be retained.  You should be able to test this easily ~ create a dummy user and log in as that user, create an event, log out, remove that user via your standard admin account and verify whether the event was removed.  HTH

Thank you, Antonio. A Google calendar isn't really an option for our (enterprise) team. We have to find a solution within the application portfolio already with the organization, hence Confluence Team calendar...
