What is the best way to view default View assignments per user? We used to export this data but I'm curious if there is an easier way with FrontDoor that I'm just not familiar?  We need to delete an existing View but are getting an error that it's associated to a User's default. Rather than click through, one by one almost 200 users, I'm curious if there is a more efficient way to get this information.

If you don't mind a bit of scripting this is quite easy to do with the Cloudability APIs and is something I have had to do in the past. 

You can use the users and views endpoints to retrieve lists of views and users (which contains the default view ID for each user) and then generate a report and determine what to do on a per user basis using the UI or you could decide to have the script set the default view to a new default value for the impacted users.
