Disable a website user


On occasion, Administrators might need to disable/deactivate a user. This action will prevent login to the website. Disabling is different from making a user permanently inactive. Users with active orders or orders awaiting their approval cannot be made permanently inactive but they can be disabled.

Active orders are:  

1) Orders that have been submitted.
2) Orders that are awaiting integration.
3) Orders that require approval.


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