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. In order to avoid this, please take some time and 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.

Please note that there will be no lapse in data loss if integration is interrupted from someone’s email being deactivated, however this will impact real time alerting though. Data will be caught up upon successful reintegration.
