Needed feature to disable User Account and corresponding RestAPI

Currently in Sterling B2B Integrator Product, user account can be either edited or deleted, there is not option to "disable" it.

There are business scenarios where business need to disable user account for certain period of time (days or months) and after that enable them.

What is your industry? Chemicals & Petroleum
How will this idea be used?

Locking or disabling user temporarily is must feature.

Business scenarios where it can be helpful -

1) For security Audit, if business wants all the users to be locked temporary till the audit being carried out, currently there is no option to disable or lock users.

2) In case user takes extended leave of absence, his/her user account to be disable for that period of time and not delete.

3) Users who are leaving organization - As per business the account can not be deleted on day 1 , it has to be disabled for few days and after which it can be deleted permanently.

    Thank you for participating in the request for enhancement community. At this time we are unable to prioritize this request in the short term, however, we have added this to our roadmap and will continue to monitor.

    IBM also offers a product called "Partner Engagement Manager" that can offer relief. When a partner is "delelted" from the system, the record is still the in the database, os the flag could be re-enabled possibly with a custom option, but will keep this in mind for out of the box funcitonlaiy.
