An IT Administrator Left the Organization, What's Next?

AAD integrations can expire with no notice, and be left in a state of not working until someone tries to log in. To avoid this, follow the steps below:

• Review which administrator account is being used for AAD/SSO
• Review which account was used for the Aware Integration
• Review your Aware Administrator to make sure there is one identified

Note

There will be no interruption in data integrity in the event of integration disruption due to the deactivation of an individual's email; however, this will affect real-time alert notifications. Data will be reconciled upon successful reintegration.
