Organizations occasionally need to reverse an employee termination, whether due to administrative error, policy changes, or successful appeal. The Identity Panel Suite by SoftwareIDM supports these “termination rescind” scenarios with built-in functionality that ensures access rights can be restored promptly and in accordance with local policies.
Automated Restoration of Access Rights
When a termination is reversed, Identity Panel provides mechanisms to restore the user's digital identity and access privileges across systems. This includes:
-
Reinstating entitlements (access to systems, data, and resources) that were removed during offboarding
-
Re-activating user accounts in connected directories (like Active Directory or Azure AD)
-
Re-populating group memberships or roles that define access levels
This restoration process is policy-driven. Organizations can configure rescind timelines and specify what access can or cannot be restored automatically, ensuring compliance with local, regional, or organizational data handling policies.
Role of Time Traveler and HyperSync Panel
The Time Traveler feature enables precise tracking of historical identity states, making it easy to retrieve and reinstate a user's previous access profile. When combined with HyperSync Panel, the solution can:
-
Replay the user's access state at the point prior to termination
-
Re-synchronize entitlements to target systems
-
Log and audit all changes for compliance review
HyperSync Panel ensures changes are propagated reliably across systems while respecting join rules and identity sources. This supports not just access restoration, but also audit-ready evidence of who had access, when, and why.
