Reset or Remove Users in Duo Security

In some situations, you will need to reset or remove a user from the Duo system. These situations can include users who have left your organization and users who have changed devices and need to enroll again. For most of these cases, you need to log in to the Duo Security administration portal and perform these actions in the Users area.

Users with TFA enabled in their password policy are automatically deleted from Duo Security in the following scenarios:

  • An administrator manually deletes the user in System Admin > User.
  • The employee is updated as terminated during HR import.
  • The User Account Employee Status Job sets the user to 'unapproved' (that is, it clears the Approved checkbox in System Admin > User).
  • Note: Manually clearing the Approved checkbox in System Admin > User will not delete the user from DUO Security

Dayforce doesn't automatically delete terminated users from Duo Security if they are assigned to a termination role, because in this case they are still set to ‘approved’ in System Admin > User.
