Automatically deactivating user accounts

Feedback

If a person hasn't been using the Vymo app for a certain number of days, you can automatically deactivate that person's user account. Such deactivated accounts aren't counted for calculating your license fees.

This is how it works:

You specify the number of days of inactivity, for example, 21 days.
When a person is about to breach this ceiling, an alert is sent. You specify the following things about this alert:
- The number of times this alert is to be sent (up to three times)
- If the alert is to be sent more than once, the days before deactivation to send the alerts (for example, at 5, 3, and 1 days before deactivation)
- The people this alert is to be sent to (only that person, only their reporting manager, or both)
- The manner of sending that alert (email, SMS, or both)
If the account remains inactive, it's disabled as soon as the specified threshold is breached.
As soon as the account is disabled, an alert goes out, for which you can specify these things:
- Who the alert goes out to (only that person, only their reporting manager, or both)
- The manner of sending that alert (email, SMS, or both)

Pre-emptive action; notifications

A list of people whose accounts are near the specified threshold can be sent to your administrative team, for their intervention, if required.

After a user account is disabled, the details can also be sent to your administrative team.

Setting up automatic account deactivation

Log in to the Vymo web app.
Click Customize > Global Settings > JSON Configurations.
Go to the authConfig object and expand it.

In the userInactivityConfig object, specify the parameter values. Use the following code snippet as guidance, but remember to delete the extra space between the two { and } in all of the message examples.
