Short answer

How do I offboard users and clear sessions with my AI?

You tell your AI to deactivate a specific user or terminate their active sessions. The AI executes these actions in Okta immediately. You'll see the results of the account lockout and session termination below.

Security outcomes.

Immediate access control.

What happens when you trigger an offboarding command.

ACCESS

Account deactivated

The user's Okta account is disabled. They can no longer log in to any connected services.

SESSIONS

Sessions terminated

All active web sessions are killed. This stops anyone currently logged in from continuing their work.

AUDIT

Logs updated

Okta records the changes. You'll have a clear trail of when the user was disabled and sessions were cleared.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

You still need to handle high-level policy changes or bulk deletions that require manual oversight.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your Okta tenant.

  1. Identify the user

    Your AI looks up the specific user profile in Okta based on the name or email you provide.

    deactivate_user

  2. Disable the account

    The AI shuts down the user's ability to authenticate by disabling their account.

    deactivate_user

  3. Kill active sessions

    To prevent immediate re-entry, the AI wipes all current active sessions for that user.

    clear_user_sessions

  4. Confirm status

    The AI checks that the account is inactive and the sessions are gone, then tells you it's done.

    deactivate_userclear_user_sessions
