The way you lock user accounts depends on how they are managed.
Scenario:
The user account is linked to employees and is managed through account definitions.
User accounts managed through account definitions are locked when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the user account manage level. Accounts with the Full managed manage level are disabled depending on the account definition settings. For user accounts with a manage level, configure the required behavior using the template in the GAPUser.IsSuspended column.

NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.
You can delete a user account that was not created using an account definition through the result list or from the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security alert the user account is marked for deletion in the One Identity Manager. The user account is locked in One Identity Manager and permanently deleted from the One Identity Manager database and the target system depending on the deferred deletion setting.

When a user account is deleted, various user data can be transferred to a different user account. After the deletion delay has expired, the data transfer is first initiated in the Google Workspace environment. As soon as the data transfer has been successfully completed in the target system, the user account is permanently deleted.
Prerequisites
-
Data transfer is approved for the customer. To enable this, the Transfer user data before delete setting must be enabled, or the CP_TransferUserDataBeforeDelete variable is set to True.
-
A manager has been assigned to the employee to whom the deleted user account is linked.
- OR -
The deleted user account has a relationship of the Manager type.
-
The manager's email address belongs to the primary domain of the customer to which the deleted user account belongs.
-
In the event that no valid email address can be determined in this way, a valid default email address is defined. This is specified in the target system connection using the Default email address for data transfer setting or in the CP_DefaultDataTransferTargetEmail variable.
