lmq6e (lmq6e) asked a question.

process deprovision account to deletion

Is there an easy process to delete deprovision accounts? We have quite a few and can only see a manual option of doing it.

    Hello @lmq6e (lmq6e)​ , thank you for contacting Okta Community.

     

    You can use API to delete multiple accounts at once. We have published this article with steps and a YouTube tutorial:

    @lmq6e (lmq6e)​ -- As Diana mentioned your path forward is leveraging the available API's. This can potentially be completed with any API client (Okta Workflows, Postman, your own custom script/program). You would just need to query your user base to return the expected subset of users (Status=Deactivated). Then perform a secondary evaluation to determine if those users are indeed "Deactivated" and potentially the duration they have been in said state "statusChanged". If they meet your criteria then delete them.
