What Happens When a User Fails to Authenticate During the Warning Period

If a user does not authenticate within the designated warning period, Identity Panel takes automated action to protect the environment without permanently deleting user data. This behavior is part of the system’s built-in identity lifecycle and compliance safeguards.

Automatic Account Disabling

When the authentication window expires, the system disables the user's account. This includes:

• The primary user account

• Any associated administrative or elevated-access accounts

• Any linked service accounts managed under the user’s identity

Disabling, rather than deleting, ensures no unauthorized access can occur while maintaining audit integrity and historical records.

Attribute Preservation for Seamless Reactivation

Even though the account is disabled, Identity Panel preserves all user attributes. This includes identifiers, roles, group memberships, and other profile data stored in the platform. The preserved data ensures that:

• Reactivation is fast and accurate

• Historical reporting and audit trails remain intact

• No data re-entry or manual reconfiguration is needed when reinstating access

Preserving attributes aligns with compliance requirements and supports efficient employee re-entry or rehire scenarios.
