Disabling / enabling users
Since user record has various relations to the logs and history records, it can't be deleted. So it's disabled instead. It basically means, that the record doesn't display in the list and the user can't login.
However disabled user may be enabled again. Please note, that disabled user is removed from its groups, so groups should be assigned properly after re-enabling.
