Cleansing - All Users

Prev Next

The All Users (Cleansing) report presents a detailed inventory of all users, including essential attributes necessary for thorough data validation and cleansing, in accordance with IT Service Management (ITSM) best practices and standards.

Report Usage

It facilitates data cleansing activities by presenting a comprehensive view of all user records, allowing organizations to validate, update, and enhance user information. This ensures accurate software asset tracking and compliance in alignment with IT Service Management (ITSM) practices.

Example

During a quarterly data validation cycle, the IT Operations Team uses the Cleansing – All Users report to identify discrepancies in user records. The report reveals users with mismatched “Current Data Origin” values and several accounts marked as “Is Confirmed = No”.

This insight allows the team to validate employee status with HR, align directory information, update job titles and departments, and remove stale or obsolete accounts from asset management systems.

By cleansing and validating these records, the organization improves accuracy in software license assignments, strengthens identity management practices, and ensures compliance with ITSM standards.
