Disabling and deleting employees

How employees are handled, particularly in the case of permanent or partial withdrawal of an employee, varies between individual companies. There are companies that never delete employees, and only disable them when they leave the company.

Detailed information about this topic

Temporarily deactivating employees

NOTE: Employees who are temporarily deactivated can no longer log in to One Identity Manager.

The employee has temporarily left the company and is expected to return at a predefined date. The desired course of action could be to disable the user account and remove all group memberships. Or the user accounts could be deleted and reestablished with the employee's return, even if it is with a new system identification number (SID).

Temporary disabling of an employee is triggered by:

  • TheTemporary disabled option

  • The start and end date for deactivation (Temporary disabled from and Temporary disabled until)

NOTE:

  • Configure the Lock accounts of employees that have left the company schedule in the Designer. This schedule checks the start date for disabling and sets the Temporarily disabled option when it is reached.

  • In the Designer, configure the Enable temporarily disabled accounts schedule. This schedule monitors the end date of the disabled period and enables the employee with their user accounts when the date expires. Employee's user accounts that were disabled before the period of temporary absence are also re-enabled once the period has expired.

Permanently deactivating employees

NOTE: Employees who are permanently deactivated can no longer log in to One Identity Manager.

Employees can be deactivated permanently when, for example, they leave the company. It might be necessary, to remove access to this employee's entitlements in connected target systems and their company resources.

Effects of permanent deactivating an identity are:

  • The employee cannot be assigned to employees as a manager.

  • The employee cannot be assigned to roles as a supervisor.

  • The employee cannot be assigned to attestation policies as an owner.

  • There is no inheritance of company resources through roles, if the additional No inheritance option is set for an employee.

  • Employee user accounts are locked or deleted and then removed from group memberships.

Trigger permanent deactivation through:

  • The Deactivate employee permanently task

    This task ensures that the Permanently deactivates option is enabled and the leaving date and last working day are set to the current date.

  • The leaving date is reached

    NOTE:

    • In the Designer, check the Lock accounts of employees that have left the company schedule. This schedule regularly checks the leaving date and sets the Permanently deactivated option on reaching the date.

    • The Re-enable employee task ensures that the employee is re-enabled.

  • The Denied certification status

    If an employee's certification status is set to Denied manually or as a result of attestation, the employee is immediately permanently deactivated. When the employee's certification status is changed to Certified, the employee is activated again.

    NOTE: This function is only available if the Attestation Module is installed.
