Retaining Security Settings During Leave of Absence

When an employee takes a leave of absence, it's critical to maintain the integrity of their digital identity. The Identity Panel Suite from SoftwareIDM is designed to support this exact need, ensuring that security configurations remain intact throughout the leave period.

What Is Preserved During Leave

The system ensures that all security and access-related configurations are maintained without disruption:

• Group Memberships: The user remains in all assigned security groups, preserving access entitlements for return.

• Application Entitlements: All application-level access rights, such as role-based permissions and software licenses, are retained in their current state.

• Email Settings: User-specific configurations like aliases, forwarding rules, and mailbox access are not altered or removed.

This continuity helps prevent accidental access loss or reconfiguration errors when the employee returns.

How Identity Panel Manages Leave Status

The Identity Panel Suite leverages its synchronization and rules engine—typically managed through HyperSync Panel—to recognize a leave of absence status in authoritative systems (such as an HR database). Rather than deactivating or deleting the user’s profile, the system may apply temporary status flags while preserving all identity relationships and entitlements in full.

The platform supports both stateful synchronization and event-driven triggers, meaning changes can be applied immediately or during scheduled updates, depending on the organization's policy.
