On occasion, website administrators Administrators might need to remove disable a user from the database. In order to protect database integrity, users with associated or 'active' orders cannot be deleted. Rather, these users can be deactivated. . Or the system locks out the user due to too many failed login attempts. The user remains active as a customer but they cannot login to the website. Disabling a user is different from deactivating a user. Users with active orders or orders awaiting their approval cannot be deactivated (made permanently inactive) but they can be disabled.

When a disabled user attempts to login, a message displays to alert them that they are restricted from logging in .
