Disable user using REST API

[pKadam]

When a user is terminated in the organization, we would like the account to be disable using automation tools.

• What is the correct process to disable a user?
• Using delete login (https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/logins.html#method.pseudonyms.destroy) is sufficient?
• Is there a API to disable User ?

Hi @pKadam 

You could use the Edit User API to suspend the user logins.  That would keep their data intact while not allowing them to login anymore.  If you have a single-signon system, you may also be able to suspend their login there to prevent them from logging in to any official systems (including Canvas) set to use that signon system.
