User and Device Lifecycle
Removing users and devices from the organization, and what happens to their access
- Last validated: Oct 1, 2026
Overview
Users leave, and devices are lost or decommissioned. These pages cover removing either from the organization, and the effect on the access and licenses they held.
- De-register, Ban and Unban Devices covers misplaced or decommissioned devices, and revoking a device’s access without removing its user.
- Archive and Delete Users covers removing a user, and the distinction between archiving and deleting.
Because a license stays with a user until it is explicitly revoked or the user is removed, these tasks also determine license consumption. See CSE Licenses.
