Hi @sganesan ,  
As @liamkokeeffe said, identities are still included in picklists for certifications .

The issue can be addressed through strategic changes:

1. Ensure that identities are not assigned to inactive managers. This will prevent them from appearing as reviewers during certification processes.

A workflow can be implemented to identify all inactive managers and generate a report for HR. This report can then be used to reassign identities to either a new manager or the manager’s supervisor.

Additionally, it is advisable to implement ownership management. For further details, please refer to the following resource: [Reassign Object Owners Using IdentityNow Workflows](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/reassign-object-owners-using-identitynow-workflows/22371).
