18.6 Disabling Vibe User Accounts

You might want to disable user accounts instead of deleting them. When you delete a user account, the account can never be re-activated, so you might want to disable the account rather than delete it if you think the user might return to your Vibe site. Disabled accounts do not count as a licensed user.

This section describes how to disable local user accounts as well as accounts that are being synchronized with an LDAP directory. You can disable individual accounts, or simultaneously disable multiple accounts.
