Hi Priyanka,

Usually, for the above issue, you have to remove the user in your Assignment rule and Escalation rule. Then change the ownership of the particular user records.But as you are saying that no users are part of escalation rules and assignment rules may I suggest you please follow the below steps which should probably resolve the issue.

1. Click on Customize
2. Click on Cases 
3. Click on Escalation Rules name "Standard Escalation Rule"
4. Click on Edit on the first rule entries 
5. Change the name on Notify"Test User" and put some other user on notify     owner lookup.
6. Click on Save

Best Regards,
Nagendra.

You need to change the support settings. Go to Customize> Case > Support Settings. change the Defualt Case Owner and Automated Case User to someone other than that User.

We ran into the same issue and the above solutions were not the fix. We did not have any Assignment or escalation rules even set. We found the issue was part of Support Settings. Kelsey was correct, but I believe she was using Classic. 

In Lightning:
1. Go to Setup and search for Support.
2. Click "Support Settings" - (Feature Settings->Service->Support Settings)
3. At the top of the list you will see the Default Case Owner and Automated Case User, click edit and update both of those
4. Click Save
5. Retry your deactivation

Thanks

I was receiving the same error in a Trailhead module even after removing the user from all the Support Processes, and she was not a member of any of the queues or escalations either.  The only way I could get the error to stop was to delete all my escalation rules. Maybe you'll need to do that and re-create them all as a last resort. Seems like a bug.

Hello guys... I cannot find Customize. I have the same issue. I tried both of the solutions here, and still doesn`t work. Did someone find a solution for this?

I had this issue, and all the steps above did not work. I solved the issue by: Setup - Service - Escalation Rules where the user's email was listed to be notified.

This can be casued by various reasons depending on where the user is being used. If above solutions did not work for you, then please try this. 

  1. Make sure the user is not part of Lead Assignment rules
  2. If that does not help then this user must be an active user with the 'View All Data' permission. Before changing the user settings or profile, select a different user for Executive Opportunity Alerts. (You may need to change assigned users in Big Deal alerts)

Hello there the solutions that I found out is this:
1. Go to Setting and search Escalation Rules.
2. Select Escalation Rules and Delete it.
3. Try to deactivate the user again.

That's what worked for me.

The Automated Case User is the user who is listed in the Case History for all automated case actions in Salesforce -
When a case is automatically assigned using assignment rules
When a case is escalated
When a case is created online via web to case
When Email-to-Case fails to create a case, the Automated Case User is emailed with the error message(s), of why a case was not created.
This user is also specified in the From address for case escalation email notifications.
To change the Automated Case User:
In Classic: Click Setup and on the Quick Find box enter 'Support Settings'. In Lightning: Click the Gear icon then Setup and on the Quick Find box enter 'Support Settings'
Click Edit to change any of the listed support settings
Choose the new Automated Case User by typing their full name in the field or by using the lookup icon
Click 'Save'
All automated case actions will now have this new Automated Case User listed on the Case History.
Note:-
Remember: Automated Case user must have the System Administrator profile or the 'Modify All Data' and 'Send Email' permissions.
Now, coming to your question, If you are changing the profile of the automated case user, you need to assign the new profile having the System Administrator profile or the 'Modify All Data' and 'Send Email' permissions.
