Disabling a User

This Option Will Disable/Freeze a User's Account.
You Will Be Able to Re-Activate the Account in Case You Want to Review the User's Emails or Files Later.

When you have a user who is leaving the organization, it is recommended to disable the user instead of permanently deleting a user.  

What Happens When You Disable a User

Disabling a user will:

  • Prevent anyone from signing in to that account and disable apps, files, and email.
  • Preserve account activity info, files, group membership, and portal attributes for review and recovery.
  • Continue incurring costs for the account and resources utilized (i.e., assigned applications, emails, storage).

To minimize costs, consider removing the user from groups with applications that have licenses with monthly costs (i.e., Microsoft Office), delete the account, or contact support for recommendations.
