2.6. Preserving active users in the IdM Web UI
Preserving user accounts enables you to remove accounts from the Active users tab, yet keeping these accounts in IdM.
Preserve a user account if an employee leaves the company. If you want to disable user accounts for a couple of weeks or months (parental leave, for example), disable the account. For details, see Disabling user accounts in the Web UI. The preserved accounts are not active and users cannot use them to access your internal network, however, the account stays in the database with all the data.
You can move the restored accounts back to the active mode.
