It is possible to assign records--either new or existing--to inactive Owners. - The "Create Audit Fields" BlackTab permission must be activated for the org. Submit a Case to salesforce.com Support to activate this permission.
- Such assigning can only be done through the API (for example, using Data Loader).
- Among standard objects:
- Accounts, Campaigns, Email Templates, Events, Solutions, and Tasks can be assigned to inactive users.
- Attachments, Cases, Contacts, Contracts, Documents, Leads, Notes, and Opportunities cannot.
- Custom objects can be assigned to inactive users.
- The Opportunity update error interestingly reads "Owner is inactive, cannot reparent the account [sic]"; the errors for the other objects read either read "owner is inactive, cannot reparent record" or "operation performed with inactive user".
