Disable or re-enable an Azure AD user
Disable or re-enable an Azure AD user
You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to disable a user for logon to Azure. This allows you to disable a previously enabled user in Azure AD while retaining all the Azure settings that were configured for the user.

The account is enabled again.
Deprovision or undo deprovision Ad user
Deprovision or undo deprovision of a Azure AD user
Active Roles provides the ability to deprovision rather than delete or only disable users. Deprovisioning a user refers to a set of actions that are performed by Active Roles in order to prevent the user from logging on to the network and accessing network resources such as the user’s mailbox or home folder.
The Deprovision command on a user updates the account as prescribed by the deprovisioning policies. Active Roles comes with a default policy to automate some commonly-used deprovisioning tasks, and allows the administrator to configure and apply additional policies.
