Enabling or disabling users for Skype for Business Server

You can enable, temporarily disable, or remove Active Directory users from the configured Skype for Business Server via the Active Roles Web Interface.

Adding and enabling a new Skype for Business Server user

For an existing Active Directory user account, you can use the Active Roles Web Interface to create and enable a new Skype for Business Server user account by adding the Active Directory user to Skype for Business Server.

To add and enable a new Skype for Business Server user

  1. Select the user account in the Active Roles Web Interface for administrators.

  2. Click Enable for Skype for Business Server. The command is available if:

    • You have sufficient rights in Active Roles to enable users for Skype for Business Server.

    • The selected account is in the scope of the policy provided by Skype for Business Server User Management.

    • The selected account is not yet enabled for Skype for Business Server.

    If any of these conditions are not met, Enable for Skype for Business Server will not appear in the Web Interface.

  3. On the page that appears:

    • Assign the user to a Skype for Business Server pool.

    • Specify any additional details.

    • Assign Skype for Business Server policies to the user as needed.

  4. When ready, click Finish.

Disabling or re-enabling a user account for Skype for Business Server

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to disable a user account for logging in to Skype for Business Server. This allows you to disable a previously enabled user account in Skype for Business Server while retaining all the Skype for Business Server settings that were configured for the user account.

As you do not lose the Skype for Business Server user account settings, you can re-enable a disabled user account again without having to reconfigure the user account.

To disable or re-enable a previously enabled user account for Skype for Business Server

  1. In the Active Roles Web Interface, select the user account that you want to disable or re-enable.

  2. (Optional) To disable the user account, click Temporarily Disable for Skype for Business Server.

    NOTE: You can disable a Skype for Business Server user account only if:

    • You have sufficient rights in Active Roles to perform the action.

    • The selected user account is in the scope of the policy configured for the Skype for Business Server User Management feature.

    • The selected user account is currently enabled.

  3. (Optional) To re-enable the user account, click Re-enable for Skype for Business Server.

    NOTE: You can enable a Skype for Business Server user account only if:

    • You have sufficient rights in Active Roles to perform the action.

    • The selected user account is in the scope of the policy configured for the Skype for Business Server User Management feature.

    • The selected user account is currently disabled.

Removing a user account from Skype for Business Server

You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to remove a user account from Skype for Business Server. This removes all Skype for Business Server-related attributes from the user account, including the identities of any per-user policies that have been assigned to that user account.

You can later re-add the account to Skype for Business Server as described in Adding and enabling a new Skype for Business Server user). However, you will need to reconfigure all Skype for Business Server-related information (including policy assignments) previously associated with that account.

TIP: If you want to prevent a user from logging on to Skype for Business Server, but do not want to lose all of their account information, you can temporarily disable the user account for Skype for Business Server, as described in Disabling or re-enabling a user account for Skype for Business Server.

To remove a user account from Skype for Business Server

  1. In the Active Roles Web Interface, select the user account that you want to remove from Skype for Business Server.

  2. Click Remove from Skype for Business Server.

    NOTE: This option appears only if:

    • You have sufficient rights in Active Roles.

    • The user account you selected is in the scope of the policy provided by Skype for Business Server User Management.

    • The user account is either enabled or temporarily disabled for Skype for Business Server.
