Through the API you can set users to be either active or inactive.

Setting them to inactive, you effectively shut them out of your system, without deleting them.

This is quite useful for us, to maintain a strict access policy - however, the active/inactive status is not shown in the User overview in the Control Panel, which would be quite nice to have.

Preferably as a column, that you could filter on.

  Hi Tue
  
  We agree this would be useful, and will look into adding this as a feature in an upcoming release.
  
  Note that in WATS this is not actually stored as a active/inactive state, but rather a timestamp for if/when a user is expired. When you are deactivating a user through the API you are actually setting it as expired with the current date and time. We will add a new column with the expired date/time and make sure those which are expired are marked in some way, so that you can sort/filter the column to easily.
  
  This will also have the added benefit of the possibility of creating temporary users in the Users module which can have a set lifetime before expiring.
