Disabling Active Directory user accounts

The way you disable user accounts depends on how they are managed.

Scenario:

The user account is linked to employees and is managed through account definitions.

User accounts managed through account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the user account manage level. Accounts with the Full managed manage level are disabled depending on the account definition settings. For user accounts with a manage level, configure the required behavior using the template in the ADSAccount.AccountDisabled column.

Scenario:

The user accounts are linked to employees. No account definition is applied.

User accounts managed through user account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the QER | Person | TemporaryDeactivation configuration parameter

  • If the configuration parameter is set, the employee’s user accounts are disabled when the employee is permanently or temporarily disabled.

  • If the configuration parameter is not set, the employee’s properties do not have any effect on the associated user accounts.

To disable the user account when the configuration parameter is disabled

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. On the General tab, set the Account is disabled option.

  5. Save the changes.
Scenario:

User accounts not linked to employees.

To disable a user account that is no longer linked to an employee

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. On the General tab, set the Account is disabled option.

  5. Save the changes.

Deleting and restoring Active Directory user accounts

NOTE:

  • Containers with the Protected from accidental deletion option set, cannot be deleted.

  • As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.

  • When you delete a user account, an Active Directory SID entry is created in One Identity Manager.

  • When you configure the synchronization project you define whether, when adding or restoring an Active Directory object in One Identity Manager, the system should first check if the object is in the Active Directory recycling bin and can be restored.
