# Set up the Access Removal Workflow

When [cardholders are removed using the **Area** module](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/area-management/areas-auditing/access-group-membership-audit.md), a workflow is triggered to remove them from the Command Centre Access Group. This workflow can also be configured to notify the cardholder about lost access via email.
