Credential Auto-Deactivate automatically deactivates user credentials that have not been used for a certain period of time. When enabled, this feature affects all users within an organization except for those in specified exempt groups.
Credential Auto-Deactivate only works for physical credentials like cards and fobs. It does not work for mobile credentials like Mobile NFC or Mobile BLE.
