b2accessdeprovisioning 0.9.1

Description:

b2accessdeprovisioning 0.9.1

A Python tool for handling the (de)provisioning of B2ACCESS user accounts.
The b2accessdeprovisioning tool can be used to retrieve the list of permanently disabled B2ACCESS user accounts via Unity’s Administration API. For each of the disabled accounts, the tool performs the following operations:

immediate removal of assigned attributes (excluding user identifiers)
scheduled removal of all account information after a given period of time

Finally, the tool sends a notification to one or more recipients containing the list of deprovisioned accounts.

Attribute whitelisting to indicate information that should be saved when removing account data; otherwise the tool removes all attributes assigned to permanently disabled B2ACCESS user accounts
