# Inactive Guest Users

Detects guest accounts that have long periods of inactivity. These accounts are often targeted by adversaries as they do not have the same scrutiny as internal accounts. Most compliance frameworks require you to assess and purge these users promptly. A Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) business-to-business (B2B) collaboration user's UserType = Guest. A user will fail this check if they have a guest account that has been inactive for more than 30 days.

#### **Recommended Actions**

First, assess the users' security posture. We can also determine if users have conditional access and MFA enabled. We recommend deleting these users on a schedule, as they are easy to re-invite.

To delete users in Microsoft Entra ID, you can select "Delete User" from the "Actions" button in User profiles.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.oort.io/understanding-check-failures/oort-insights/identity-posture-management-insights/inactive-guest-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
