how users are deprovisioned from Splunk Cloud
Considering our current setup i.e authentication and Authorization integrated with SAML, how do we
1. mark an user inactive
2. what do we do with his/her knowledge objects.

I just checked a Splunk Cloud stack and the only users with the delete option are local. The SAML users do not have the Edit action, therefore no delete.

1. You can't. Splunk doesn't know if a user is active or not - only that they pass authentication (or not). A user never signing in is just a user who never signs in rather than an inactive/expired user. You can, however, file a support request to have the user removed.
2. Assign the user's KOs to another user. Go to Settings->All configurations and click the "Reassign Knowledge Objects" button.

If we delete user without reassign KO to other user. Than what would happen with that KOs.

The KOs will remain, but will become "orphans" (owned by nobody). They can be re-assigned to another user, however.

Is there any search query from which we can get the inactive users? @richgalloway @_JP

This query will tell you when each user last logged in. It's up to you to decide which of them is "inactive".
| rest /services/authentication/users splunk_server=local | table title last_successful_login
