# Offboarded users should not have active access

> Checks that offboarded employees no longer retain active Vercel access.

Checks that offboarded employees no longer retain active Vercel access.

## About

When you connect Vercel to DSALTA, the platform syncs your account owner and team members using read-only API access. DSALTA compares the Vercel Access-page members against your People page and flags anyone with active access whose employee record is terminated or offboarding. DSALTA evaluates this control on every sync, and activates this check when an offboarded employee still has access.

## Why This Matters

Access for terminated or offboarding employees must be revoked promptly to prevent lingering access. When someone leaves and their access is not revoked, their credentials become an unmonitored door into your systems — a common cause of data theft and accidental damage. Timely access removal on termination is explicitly required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.

## How to Fix

**Before you begin**

* Identify all offboarded employees by cross-referencing your HRMS (or the DSALTA People module) with active Vercel members.
* Ensure you have **admin** access to the Vercel account or team.

**Revoke Vercel access for offboarded users**

1. In DSALTA, go to **Data Library → Access** and filter for **Vercel** to see who still has active access.
2. In **Vercel → Team settings → Members**, remove each offboarded employee.
3. Revoke any access tokens or shared credentials tied to that person.
4. To automate this going forward, connect your HRMS to DSALTA so that an "Offboarded" status automatically flags any lingering access.

Once no offboarded employee retains active Vercel access, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to **Passing**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How often does this check run?">
    This check runs automatically every 24 hours while the Vercel integration is connected. You can also trigger a manual sync from **Integrations** in the sidebar.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if it keeps failing?">
    A failing check appears in your **Data Library → Tests** dashboard. Work through the steps above; once the underlying configuration is fixed, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I exclude this check?">
    Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as **Not Applicable** with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does DSALTA change my Vercel configuration?">
    No. DSALTA uses **read-only API access** and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in Vercel.
