Auto-Cancel Accounts Tasks

 Auto-cancel accounts tasks automatically cancel access accounts that have been expired for a specific time period or accounts that meet specified criterion.

Add Auto-Cancel Accounts Tasks

1. On the System Settings page, click the Configure icon for the auto-cancel accounts tasks.
2. In the Auto-Cancel Accounts Tasks list, click Add.
3. On the Add Auto-Cancel Accounts Tasks page, configure the following parameters:

Cancelling Expired Accounts

• Cancel Expired Accounts: Enables UAM to automatically cancel expired accounts.
• Days After Expiration: Sets how long an expired account can be retained before it is automatically cancelled.
• Account Prefix: Cancels expired accounts that match a prefix. If no prefix is specified, all expired accounts will be cancelled regardless of their prefixes.

For example, set the Days After Expiration field to 30 and set the account prefix to a. For accounts abc, a123, and bac, UAM will cancel accounts abc and a123 and keep account bac 30 days after account expiration.

Cancelling Idle Accounts (Available only when CAMS Accounting Manager is not deployed)

• Cancel Idle Accounts: Enables UAM to automatically cancel accounts that are idle for a certain number of days.
• Idle Days: Sets how long an account can be idle before it is automatically cancelled.
• Account Prefix: Cancels expired accounts that match a prefix. If no prefix is specified, all idle accounts will be cancelled if they have been idle for the specified max idle days.

For example, set the Idle Days field to 30 and set the account prefix to a. For accounts abc, a123, and bac have been idle for 30 days, UAM will cancels accounts abc and a123 and keep account bac after 30 idle days.

Cancelling Accounts with Zero Balance (Available only when CAMS Accounting Manager is deployed)

• Cancel Accounts with Zero Balance: Enables UAM to automatically cancel accounts with zero balance that have been idle for a certain number of days.
• Idle Days: Sets how long an account with zero balance can be idle before it is automatically cancelled.
• Account Prefix: Cancels accounts with zero balance that match a prefix. If no prefix is specified, all accounts with zero balance will be cancelled if they have been idle for the specified max idle days.

For example, set the Idle Days field to 30 and set the account prefix to a. For accounts abc, a123, and bac with zero balance, UAM will cancel accounts abc and a123 and keep account bac after 30 idle days.

Cancelling Accounts with Balances in a Range (Available only when CAMS Accounting Manager is deployed)

• Cancel Accounts Based on Balance Range: Enables UAM to automatically cancel accounts with balances in a certain range.
• Lowest: Sets the lowest value for the balance range.
• Highest: Sets the highest value for the balance range.
• Idle Days: Sets how long an account in the specified balance range can be idle before it is automatically cancelled.
• Account Prefix: Cancels accounts with balances that match a prefix. If no prefix is specified, all accounts in the specified balance range will be cancelled if they have been idle for the specified idle days.

For example, configure the balance range as -10 to 10, set the Idle Days field to 30, and set the account prefix to a. If account abc has been idle for 30 days with a balance of -5, UAM automatically cancels the account. If account a123 has been idle for 30 days with a balance of 11, UAM does not cancel the account because the balance is not within the range. If account bac has been idle for 30 days with a balance of 5, UAM does not cancel the account because the prefix is not matched.

• Cancel Idle Guest Accounts: Enables UAM to automatically cancel guest accounts that are idle for a certain number of days.
• Idle Days: Sets how long an account can be idle before it is automatically cancelled.
• Account Prefix: Cancels idle guest accounts that match a prefix. If no prefix is specified, all idle accounts will be cancelled if they have been idle for the specified max idle days.

For example, set the Idle Days field to 30 and set the account prefix to a. For accounts abc, a123, and bac have been idle for 30 days, UAM will cancels accounts abc and a123 and keep account bac after 30 idle days.

• Delete Platform Users:When this option is selected, the following cases apply: 1) If the platform user corresponds only to the access account to be cancelled, the system deletes the platform user together with the account. 2) If the platform user corresponds to two or more access accounts, the system only deletes the current account. When this option is unselected, the system only deletes the current account.

Precautions

• The last online time of a new account is the creation time of the account.
• Set the number of idle days to a large value for cancelling the idle accounts or accounts with zero balance. The accounts may be still useful for their owners.
• When no account is cancelled, the system generates a log containing the end time of the auto-cancel accounts task, but it does not generate a file recording the cancelled accounts.
