Which User Update Rule action is used to automatically change service account ownership when the...

The correct answer is A. Transfer Ownership . Saviynt documentation on User Update Rules explains that the purpose of Transfer Ownership is to change ownership, and specifically notes that service accounts can be reassigned to the OwnerOnTerminate user when the current owner is terminated. The documentation further states that when the current service account owner is terminated, a user update rule with the action Transfer Ownership is triggered so that service account ownership is moved appropriately. This directly matches the scenario in the question.

This is also consistent with Saviynt’s service account model, where every service account must have at least one designated owner who is authorized to manage it. Because ownership is required, Saviynt provides lifecycle controls to preserve accountable ownership when a human owner leaves the organization. The remaining options are unrelated. Run Role Mining belongs to analytics and role engineering, Launch Campaign belongs to certification processes, and Disable SMTP is an email configuration concept. For Level 200 understanding, the key takeaway is that automatic service account ownership continuity is handled through a User Update Rule using the Transfer Ownership action, often combined with OwnerOnTerminate configuration.
