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.
