Hi Alex , what a wonderful news! This is a difficult topic for many organizations and with the help of access reviews, managing stale accounts becomes much easier than sifting through a CSV export.  

You mentioned in your post "As part of the review process, stale accounts can automatically be removed". This is not an option yet, test it myself out. This is an option if you set the scope to 'Guest users only', when creating the access review. With the 'Guest users only' scope you have the option 'block user from sign- in for 30 days, then remove user from tenant'. It would be wonderful if this will be implemented for scope 'All users' to.

 

Regards,

Ricardo
