Activating Users

You may need to activate a deactivated user. For example, you may deactivate a user in case the user is on long a vacation. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to that user’s login.

You cannot search directly for deactivated users by specifying the search criteria and clicking the Search button on the Search Users and Administrators page. You perform an Advanced Search for such users and use the Inactive option in the Current Users section to search.

Permissions Required

To be able to activate users, ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and scope to do so. The MA can activate any user, while GAs can activate all users within their scope. The OAs and UAs can activate all users in their purview.
