How to Review Access After Moving a User to a New Department

A department change can leave old group memberships and application roles in place while adding new permissions. Access may be inherited from nested groups or local application assignments that central identity reports do not show.

What to check

Compare current access with the new role, review group nesting and app-specific assignments, identify privileged access, and confirm the manager or application owner approved each exception.

Recommended next step

Remove unnecessary former-role permissions in a coordinated change and keep approved cross-functional access documented. Verify the user can perform required new tasks without retaining unrelated privileges.
