Can not find user (2)

Detection

  • RegExp: Error (.*) In field: (.*) - no User named (.*) found

Resolution

You made reference to username {3} in {1}, and it probably does not exist in the target org.
- Do not use named users, but user public groups for assignments -> https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.creating_and_editing_groups.htm&type=5
- or Create matching user {3} in the target deployment org
- or open {1} metadata and remove the XML part referring to hardcoded username {3}
