Checks that offboarded employees no longer have active Cursor access.

​
About

When you connect Cursor to DSALTA, the platform syncs the users on your Cursor Access page using read-only API access. On every sync DSALTA matches each user with active Cursor access to your People directory by email. If a matched person is offboarded (terminated or in offboarding) but still has active access, the check flags it as a serious issue.
With a standard User API key, Cursor returns only the connected account, so this match may not resolve for the rest of your team. Connect with a Team Admin API key to review your full team roster.

​
Why This Matters

Offboarded employees must not retain access to the organization’s AI coding tooling. When someone leaves and their access is not revoked, their account becomes an unmonitored door into your systems. Timely access removal on termination is explicitly required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

​
How to Fix

Before you begin
  • Identify offboarded employees by cross-referencing your HRMS (or the DSALTA People module) with the users who have active Cursor access.
Remove access for offboarded users
  1. In the Cursor Dashboard, go to Settings → Members and remove members who have been offboarded.
  2. In DSALTA, open People and confirm offboarded employees are marked terminated.
Once no offboarded employee retains active Cursor access, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to Passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

This check runs automatically every 24 hours while the Cursor integration is connected. You can also trigger a manual sync from Integrations in the sidebar.
A failing check appears in your Data Library → Tests dashboard. Work through the steps above; once offboarded users no longer have access, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as Not Applicable with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
No. DSALTA uses read-only API access and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in Cursor.
