Automatically disable users based on attributes

In organizations where changes to the user base occur frequently, it is often more efficient to automatically disable users based on one or more user attributes. This helps ensure the user base is kept current and database performance is maximized by reducing the number of active users.
For instructions on how to disable users directly from the Users list, see Disable users.
Automatically disabling sponsors also disables their associated dependents users.

  2. In the
    Users
     section, click
    Disable and Delete Users
    .
  3. On the
    Disable and Delete Users
     screen, in the
    Disable Users
     section, select the AND/OR operator. When AND is selected, users must meet all conditions to be added. When OR is selected, users that match any of the conditions are added. The default is AND.
  4. Click the
    Select Attribute
     drop-down list and select the first attribute to use to identify users to be disabled.

     and then repeat steps 3 through 6.
    When the AND operator is selected, if more than one condition appears in the Disable Users section, all conditions must be met for a user to be disabled.
    You can use the User Last Updated by Source attribute to search for and disable users. For more information, see Automatically disable users based on the User Last Updated Source attribute.
