Reprovisioning occurs whenever an automated provisioning solution executes provisioning processes for existing users, updating their access rights to the most current for their role. If no access changes are necessary for the user at the time of scheduled execution, none will be made.
Deprovisioning is one of the many steps that must occur for safe user offboarding when an employee departs an organization. All of the user’s accounts and access rights must be removed and deactivated for secure and compliant operations. Deprovisioning should be regarded as part of an offboarding process for departing users.
