Help for Deactivate User


The Deactivate User page lets you deactivate a user (that is, make the user inactive). This function prevents the selected user from accessing the system but maintains the contents of the user's home directory. Inactive users can be re-activated, allowing them to regain access to the system and their home directories. If you want to permanently remove the user definition and the contents of the user's home directory from the system, use the Delete User function.

Type the system name (user ID) of the user to be deactivated and click submit to deactivate the user. The specified user can be any active user. Clicking cancel cancels the current operation (all previously deactivated users are deactivated) and displays the list of users.
