To disconnect a user from Active Directory, follow the video or the steps below.



 Users can be disconnected from Active Directory individually or in bulk. To disconnect a single user:

1. From the Okta Admin Console, navigate to Directory > People and find the user that needs to be disconnected from AD.

2. Click More Actions > Disconnect from AD.

3. At the confirmation screen, select a password option:
   1. Select Reset password now to have a password reset email sent to the user. By default, the link in this email will expire after one hour.
   2. Select Don't reset password if the password will be reset later or if the user will be reconnected to another source for Delegated Authentication. The user will be unable to log in until the password is set.

To disconnect users from Active Directory in bulk:

1. From the Okta Admin Console, navigate to Directory > People.

2. Click More Actions > Disconnect from AD.

3. Select the users that need to be disconnected and then click the Disconnect Selected button.

4. At the confirmation screen, select a password option:
   1. Select Reset password now to have a password reset email sent to the user. By default, the link in this email will expire after one hour.
   2. Select Don't reset password if the password will be reset later or if the user will be reconnected to another source for Delegated Authentication. The user will be unable to log in until the password is set.

To switch users back to being AD-sourced, re-import them to link their Okta accounts to their AD accounts.
