  A dispensary removes an employee from the next schedule, but their POS account remains active. A tablet may still hold an open session, and a separate reporting service may retain another login. The staffing change is complete while the access review remains unfinished.

  Revoking former staff access requires a coordinated check of accounts, sessions, connected services, and responsibilities. Managers also need to preserve the historical records that explain earlier transactions and decisions. Each system should have a named owner who can confirm the result.

  Teams looking to Meet IndicaOnline can use the store manager overview to frame questions about staff controls. Ask how account deactivation affects existing sessions, historical attribution, and connected applications before building the store’s offboarding procedure.

  Assign an owner and an effective cutoff

  Name the person coordinating the process and agree when access should end under the store’s internal procedures. Identify who will perform each action and who will verify completion.

  Coordinate with the people responsible for staffing and technology. The checklist should identify the correct account and intended change without circulating unnecessary personal information about the departure.

  Identify the correct employee accounts

  Confirm usernames, account identifiers, assigned stores, and additional roles. Check for duplicate profiles or accounts created for earlier responsibilities.

  A display name alone is not enough to identify every access point. Record the accounts reviewed and the evidence used to associate them with the employee. Resolve uncertainty before changing another person’s account.

  List every system the employee could access

  Build the list around the employee’s actual work. Include the POS, reports, scheduling, customer records, administrative portals, and other services the store uses. Record a responsible administrator for each.

  Check access inherited through groups as well as individual assignments. Ask whether the employee held temporary permissions or supported another location. An ordinary staff profile may not reveal every additional responsibility.

  Separate central sign-in from independent accounts

  Determine which applications rely on a central sign-in and which accept separate credentials. Identify services that need a manual request or vendor intervention.

  Do not mark an independent application complete because the central account has been disabled. Give its owner a separate action and completion condition.

  Disable access while preserving staff history

  Use the platform’s supported deactivation or access-blocking process. Before deleting a profile, confirm what deletion would do to previous sales, refunds, shifts, and action attribution.

  Keep the staff identifier understandable to authorized reviewers. Historical records should still explain who performed an earlier operation, even though the former employee no longer has permission to enter the system.

  Distinguish an inactive record from a deleted record

  Check the documented meaning of an inactive status. It might affect sign-in, assignments, staff lists, or other functions differently across systems.

  Preserving a staff record does not require preserving the employee’s access. Confirm both outcomes independently: the intended access is blocked, and the history needed by the business remains available.

  Check active sessions and remembered devices

  Review what happens to sessions already open on registers, browsers, and mobile applications. Use supported session-management controls where available, and ask the provider about any limitations.

  Microsoft’s guidance on revoking user access explains that applications can issue their own session tokens and control their revocation. Microsoft Entra ID cannot directly revoke an application-issued session token. This is a platform-specific example of why application behavior matters. 

  Confirm application-specific session behavior

  Ask each system owner how existing access ends after account changes. Obtain confirmation when a provider must perform an additional action, and record any delay or uncertainty.

  Check store-controlled devices through an authorized administrative process. Do not assume that closing a browser, ending a shift, or changing a password proves that every session has ended.

  Review shared credentials and connected services

  Determine whether the employee could retrieve shared passwords, application secrets, or integration credentials. Identify which credentials require replacement or revocation under the store’s process.

  Before changing a shared credential, identify its remaining users and dependent workflows. Coordinate the transition so that removing a former employee’s access does not unexpectedly interrupt a required store process.

  Transfer service ownership before removing access

  Reassign ownership of recurring reports, automations, and vendor support contacts where needed. Ask whether those services depend on the departing employee’s account.

  A service the business still needs requires an accountable continuing owner. Do not delete an integration simply because a former employee created it. Verify the supported ownership-transfer process and confirm that the service continues as intended.

  Reassign pending work and recover store equipment

  Transfer unresolved approvals, inventory discrepancies, and support cases to named staff. Include current status, source references, and the next action. Avoid leaving essential context available only through the departing employee’s login.

  Review issued equipment and access items through the store’s approved procedure. Record what was returned, what remains outstanding, and who is following up.

  Handle local copies through the approved process

  Identify whether company reports or other business information may remain on issued devices or in approved work applications. Refer the handling of those copies to the authorized administrator.

  Revoking future sign-in does not itself remove previously downloaded files. Treat device recovery and data handling as separate tasks, with appropriate authority and care for personal information.

  Verify the result through supported evidence

  For each service, retain confirmation of the account change, session action, or completed provider request. Use administrative status, logs, or another supported verification method appropriate to the platform.

  Avoid asking for the former employee’s password or testing access through their personal credentials. The administrator should be able to explain what was checked and what the evidence establishes.

  Keep incomplete items visible

  A submitted support request is not the same as confirmation that access ended. Keep the item open until the responsible party supplies the required evidence.

  Assign an owner, next step, and completion condition to every unresolved issue. If a session cannot be terminated immediately, document the limitation and the approved response rather than marking the entire review complete.

  Close with a former staff access checklist

  Before closing the process, confirm that:

  • The correct accounts and locations have been identified.
  • Sign-in has been blocked through supported controls.
  • Existing sessions have been reviewed.
  • Independent applications have been addressed.
  • Shared credentials have been assessed.
  • Continuing services have new owners where needed.
  • Pending work has been reassigned.
  • Equipment and local data tasks have responsible owners.
  • Historical attribution remains accessible.
  • Open issues retain clear follow-up actions.

  Completion means confirmed outcomes across the systems in scope. Keep the record of actions, verification, and outstanding findings available to authorized managers. The next reviewer should be able to understand what access ended, what evidence supports that conclusion, and which responsibilities continue elsewhere.
