Using a Policy to Manage Inactive Users

When a user leaves an organization, many organizations choose to make the User object inactive, rather than immediately delete the User object. This provides the organization an indefinite amount of time to review and determine what to do with the contents of the user’s home folder before finally deleting the User object.

With File Dynamics, you can easily create an Inactive Users policy that has all home folder property rights removed and apply it to an organizational unit set up specifically for inactive users. When the User object is moved to the inactive users organizational unit, the access rights for that user are immediately removed.
