Question : user access list - who maintains them

There is an user table in the database which gives access to the appropriate users. but then the user leave the company, and that data becomes stale.

who's responsibility will it be for this data to be maintained?

should the management report to the database team to do it? the DB team will not know who left or not.

is this in general a concern for bad data?

thanks

Answer : user access list - who maintains them

In an ideal user registration and termination process, management should report an employee departure to the system administrators, not the database administrators. DBAs are not supposed to maintain any acl.

In addition, the system administrator should periodically check the last time an user has logged in and disable the account after a certain period of inactivity, if this is not done automatically.
