Dormancy thresholds

Dormant days measures how long an account has been inactive - defined by the absence of recorded activity. Oleria calculates and surfaces dormant days for user accounts, machine accounts, group members, external users, and resources so you can prioritize access remediation.

How dormant days are calculated

Dormant days are calculated based on account activity data using one of two formulas depending on data availability.

When last activity is available:

Dormant Days = Data available till - last activity

Shown as a plain number - for example, 0, 30, 50.

When last activity is not available:

Dormant Days = Data available till - min(account created date, data available from)

Shown with a + suffix to indicate a minimum threshold - for example, 0+, 30+, 50+.
