What Does User De-Provisioning Mean?
User de-provisioning is the process of removing access of an individual user to an organization’s resources. This can include removing user accounts on individual machines or servers, or from authentication servers like Active Directory. It can also include removing a user’s machine entirely. De-provisioning is usually done when a user leaves an organization.
Techopedia Explains User De-Provisioning
User de-provisioning removes a user account’s access to some computing resources. The reasons for this might be a user leaving an organization, such as a student graduating from a university or an employee leaving a company. This can range from removing accounts on file servers to taking away machines issued by a company, as in the case of company-owned laptops.
