Hi,

It would be nice if one could set a user’s account to be inactive/disable the account. That is, they cannot log in to their account (until it is again set to active).
Eg. if an employee leaves the company or if you have to block an account temporarily.
Deleting a user is not an option, because this would affect other tables where the user-id is used. One could also rename a user, by adding a prefix, like inactive_userxyz
but if it was up to me, I would add an 'inactive' checkbox.

toms,

Administrators can just change the password.

Steven,
This would work as long as you do not have a password recovery in place where a username and the email associated with the account can be entered to receive a password reset email. In this way, a user can unlock himself.
And by changing just the password, you do not easily see the active users. E.g when you need to update the access level of certain users you won't have to do it for the inactives ones.
Most systems (like active directory, other crms) allow an administrator to change a user's password and to lock/archive a user's account - for some well known reasons.
