Disable users

Disabling a user temporarily removes them from alert target lists or groups but keeps them in the system so that they can be re-enabled again. Users are commonly disabled when they take a leave or temporarily join another organization.
You can disable a user if the following conditions are true:
  • You must be an End Users Manager for the organization.
  • The user is in your user base. Your user base may be restricted to exclude the user and the user is hidden from view.
In an enterprise organization, End Users Managers, Organization Administrators and Enterprise Administrators can disable users for any suborganization. In a super enterprise organization, End Users Managers, Organization Administrators and Enterprise Administrators can disable users in any sub enterprise organization and their suborganizations.
It may be more efficient to identify the users that you want to disable based on a specific user attribute or set of attributes they have in common. For instructions, see Automatically disable users based on attributes.

The users are disabled.
If any selected users have dependents, they are also disabled.
If you have selected users that you do not have permission to disable, or who have the
Do Not Disable User
option enabled on their user profile, a warning message appears.
If a user is logged in to the system when they are disabled, on their next page navigation they are logged out and redirected to the login screen with the following message: "You do not have the required Operator Permissions to access this page. Contact your administrator."
