What this template does

This remediation workflow accepts inactive-account findings and routes each through a required approval gate before any account is touched. Once an approver confirms, the account is disabled across every connected identity system where it exists. The workflow validates that the disable succeeded and captures a closing evidence record linking the original finding to the action taken.

When to use it

Use this template when you have identified dormant or inactive accounts — through the Dormant Account Review or another scan — and need a safe, approval-gated way to disable them at scale. It is especially valuable for reducing the standing attack surface from accounts that should no longer be active.

How it works

01

Finding intake

Inactive-account findings from a scan or review are queued into the remediation workflow with their last-activity evidence attached.

02

Approval routing

Each account is routed to the configured approver, who reviews the inactivity evidence and confirms or excludes the account from remediation.

03

Disable execution

Approved accounts are disabled across every connected identity system where they appear. Each system action is attempted and logged independently.

04

Validation and closure

Nuxari verifies the account is disabled in each system and generates a closing evidence record linking the finding, approval, and outcome.

What gets created in your tenant

Remediation

Inactive User Disable Workflow

An approval-gated workflow that disables confirmed inactive accounts across connected identity systems.

Approval Workflow

Account Disable Approval

A per-account approval gate ensuring no account is disabled without a recorded decision.

Evidence Package Template

Account Disable Evidence

Structured evidence records linking each finding, approval decision, and disable action.

What evidence it produces

  • Inactive account finding record
  • Approval decision with approver identity and timestamp
  • Account disable confirmation per system
  • Post-remediation account state snapshot
  • Closure record linking finding to action

Safety and approval model

Templates install as Draft / Disabled by default. No actions run until you explicitly enable the template after reviewing the configuration.

This template requires an approval decision before enabling. No execution occurs without a recorded approver sign-off.

This template performs potentially destructive actions. Review configuration carefully before enabling.

This template installs in Draft state and is destructive — it disables user accounts. No account is touched until you connect the required connectors, review the configuration, and explicitly enable the workflow. Every disable action is approval-gated and cannot execute without a recorded approver decision. Disable is reversible (accounts are disabled, not deleted), and each action is fully logged.

Customization options

  • Approval chain (single approver, sequential, any-of)
  • Connector scope (which identity systems to disable in)
  • Disable vs. block sign-in mode where supported
  • Optional notification to the account owner or manager
  • Grace period between approval and execution
  • Exclusion list for protected or service accounts
