synchronization for deleted or disabled users in active directory

MM_10991077 — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 12:35:33 GMT

Hello Community,

Is there a way to automatically disable a user in Codebeamer when the user is deleted or disabled in Active Directory?

We have found that there are many users who have been deleted from Active Directory but are still active in Codebeamer.

Manual disabling takes a lot of effort for us.

Any setting in application, script, API, etc?

thank you

Currently, Codebeamer does not automatically disable or delete users when they are removed or disabled in Active Directory (AD). Out of the box, Codebeamer can authenticate via AD/LDAP, but it does not sync user status (enabled/disabled) unless explicitly scripted or integrated.

To automate the deactivation of users removed from AD:

Use Codebeamer REST API to disable users
Script a comparison between AD and Codebeamer user lists
Schedule the script to run regularly
