Power Tools User Management allows you to schedule User deactivations and update related data using configurable User Data Management Templates.
User Data Management Templates
User Data Management Template allows you to create reusable templates to query and update data related to the deactivation of Users.

You can add and remove filters by clicking on the + button and remove link

User Management Records allow you to schedule the deactivation of a user and optionally assign User Data Management Template's to update specific data related to that user.

From the User Management Records Tab, click on New.
Enter the User Management Record Information
Complete the User Management Record Information Section:
User: the User to deactive
User Deactivation Date/Time: the Date and Time to deactive the User. As this is executed by a Scheduled Salesforce Job, the actual deactivation may be delayed based on Salesforce service availability (although this is not normally longer than a few mins).
Active: the User Management Record must be active to run
Note: This is all that is required to deactivate the User and not update any data related to that User.
Enter the User Data Management Selections (optional)
The User Data Management Selections allows you to select a predefined User Data Management Template and nominate the new User.
Click on Add User Management Selection
Select an Active UDM Template
Enter the User in Change to User that will replace the deactivated user in the records the User Data Management Template returns Note: You can also create a new User Data Management Template by clicking on the Create New User Data Management Template link. This will open up a new User Data Management Template in a new tab. Once you have created and saved the new record it will be available to select in your User Data Management Selections list as long as it has been set to Active.

Save the User Management Record
Once you have completed the User Management Record and optionally added any User Management Selections, click on the Save or Quick Save buttons to save the record.
The Active User Management Record will run at the nominated deactivation Date and Time. As this is executed by a Scheduled Salesforce Job, the actual deactivation may may be delayed based on Salesforce service availability (thought this is not normally longer than a few mins).
