Block and delete inactive guests

Seamless detects inactive guests and flags, blocks or deletes them automatically if required.

Note

The rules for inactive guests require Microsoft Entra ID P1 licences.

Set deadlines

1. Open Guests → Templates → template → Lifecycle.

2. Under Inactive guests, enter how many days after the last sign-in:

   • Status “Inactive”: the guest is flagged as inactive (0 to 180)
   • Block: the guest is blocked (0 to 365)
   • Delete: the guest is deleted (0 to 720)

   0 disables the rule.

3. Save the template.

Note

Deleted guests can be restored in Microsoft Entra ID for 30 days.

The Inactive guests background job enforces these deadlines. The job must be enabled under Monitoring → Jobs.

Track deadlines per guest

With Microsoft Entra ID P1, the Access state column in the guest list shows the last sign-in and the time until blocking. The guest’s Lifecycle tab shows the deadlines on a timeline.

Custom automation

Under Notification endpoint, you can call your own endpoint:

Event	When
user.report.inactivity	Guest flagged as inactive
user.block.inactivity	Guest blocked
user.delete.inactivity	Guest deleted
