Which term refers to the process of terminating a user's access when they depart the organization?

• A. Off-boarding
• B. Identity Profile
• C. Access Denied Errors
• D. Unique Identifiers

Answer: (A)

Off-boarding is the process of terminating a user’s access when they depart the organization. When someone leaves, you perform deprovisioning: disable or delete their accounts, revoke tokens and credentials, remove them from groups and roles, suspend federated logins, and revoke licenses on apps and services. This prevents any further access, protecting data and supporting audits and compliance. It contrasts with on-boarding, which is about provisioning a new user. The other terms refer to identity attributes (Identity Profile), identifiers (Unique Identifiers), or access errors (Access Denied) rather than the action of removing access.
