I need to recover files from a deleted Google workspace account

My company migrated to a different Google Workspace domain so my email account that I used via Google Sign-in was deleted. Today, I logged out of the Lucid app for the first time since that migration and I am no longer able to login to my account. I need to recover all the files I had on that account. How can I do that?

SSO migration - want a non-SSO admin account

We are migrating our instance from Okta to Azure Entra ID.  I'd like to have a non-SSO Admin account so that I'm confident I'll be able to get into configure Lucid if there is any issue with the new Entra configuration.   Do not want to get locked out entirely.   Is there a way to configure a Lucid account to not leverage SSO?

Reassign documents from one user to another

Due to an acquisition we have a users who has 2 different accounts. As a Lucid admin I now wanted to re-assign all Spark/Chart documents from account A to account B. I did this by deleting account A which brought up the dialog where I can put in the account name of account B all documents shall be assigned to.  However this didn't work and still the documents are not owned by account B. In the GUI account A doesn't show up anymore (like it should be as it was deleted) but in the "Usage Data" report (Excel) the deleted account A still shows up even after >1 day as owner of the documents. Did someone experience the same and how can this be resolved? -- Martin Grausam from Keysight Technologies

document list and/or export via API

Hey allI am an admin and trying to use the API to get a list of all documents in our Company account so I can look at exporting all documents out of Lucid (also via the API). Has anyone done this before and can shed any light? I can't seem to be able to use Account authorisation and use the API in this way from what I can see?

Does anyone know where (geographically) Lucid data is hosted?

HiI am looking to persuade those in my company to start using Lucidchart. The one piece of information that I now need is where data that is uploaded will reside geographically. In other words where is the data in Lucidchart hosted. For a number of different reasons our clients outside of the U.S. will not allow their data to be hosted in the U.S. itself hence my question. Many thanks.

Presentation Mode for Non Licenced Users

We have an enterprise licence for all our Lucid creators and editors. In addition we have non licenced users who interact and comment on our generated content. By far the nicest way to navigate around diagrams is in presentation mode. Presentation mode removes all distractions from the content and maintains all hyperlinks and inter-document links in place (without a single click). Unfortunately our unlicensed users cannot use presentation mode as it demands a licence. This means that unlicenced users need to crtl-shift-click through a busy diagram with menus rather than a slick diagram. We can publish via pdf - but his is extra steps in the workflow. Recommendations: Unlicenced Users can view in Presentation mode OR a link to Presentation Mode for Diagram can be shared (this should be minimum functionality on an Enterprise licence)

How to manage users through Rest API ?

With my team we're currently trying to have an automated process to manage the users in our subscription. In particular we're trying to do the following operations : - Get a user (done) - Create a user (done) - Update an existing user (not done) - Deleting an existing user (not done)   For the last two operations I didn't see any documentation on how to do such operations. Are they supported through Rest API ? If so where can I find some documentation on how to do that ? Thanks in advance !

Primary group and license allotment for Enterprise accounts

As of July 2023 license allotment functionality is only available to Enterprise accounts who have utilized it prior to that date. Enterprise Account Owners use Groups to organize users on their account. For example you can add groups by department so it’s clear where each user on the account fits into the business org. A Primary Group is used in conjunction with license allotment. Use a team member’s Primary Group to determine which Group a team member’s license is deducted from.  In the example illustrated below the Account Owner at Dunder Mifflin has allocated two Lucidchart licenses to the Sales department. Jim Halpert a sales representative uses one of those licenses. We recommend setting allotments for all or none of the groups at the same level. Otherwise the total number of licenses used in the groups that have no allotments might be greater than the number of remaining licenses that can be allocated to them.

Making Changes to Account OwnershipAdmin resource

Who Can Make Admin changes?For each team or enterprise account different roles have different accesses to make changes and monitor the account. For more information on what roles each Admin plays please review our Admin Roles help center article.  For each team there is an Account Owner who has full control of the account. If the current Account Owner is leaving the company or your team then there will need to be a change in Account Ownership. Depending on your role on the team you can change or request to change the Account Owner.Note: The simplest way to change account ownership is to have the current Account Owner transfer ownership to another User on the team before they leave the company or team.Account Owner: If you are currently the Account Owner of your team then you can transfer ownership to another User on your account.  You can make this change through your Admin Panel under the Users tile. First select the User you would like to be the new Account Owner then select "Actions
