Okta Level 1: Professional Okta-Certified-Professional Question # 19 Topic 2 Discussion

Employee leaves an organization

As employees leave an organization, a process can be initiated by various departments to deactivate users. The user account needs to be deactivated. Deprovisioning deactivates the user account from the Okta Universal Directory. Deprovisioning ensures that persons who are no longer in your organization do not have access to sensitive applications and data.

You can deprovision users in Okta or from an external user store, such as AD or a CRM app, such as Salesforce. Typically, user deactivation is triggered from an external user store and it flows into Okta. In any case, deactivated users are automatically deprovisioned from supported apps. Admins receive an email describing any apps that require them to manually deprovision from users.
