Create vs UPDATE to activate Disabled user account.
If I run a file to disable a user's account through IPSIS (DELETE action for that record), what would the difference be between running a file with a Create vs an UPDATE action to enable the account again?

Hello, Mayra, how are you? Thank you for reaching out to the D2L Support team today!
As a general rule, the UPDATE command will behave as a CREATE command if the object in question does not yet exist in Brightspace, as stated in our documentation about general CSV rules:
"Sending an UPDATE action when the object does not exist results in a CREATE request. Common behavior is to use only the UPDATE or DELETE actions."This other article has more information and some CSV examples specifically about actions related to Users in Brightspace. I believe you would find it useful.
I hope you have found this information to be useful. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please, don't hesitate to let me know and I will be more than glad to further assist you.
Have a lovely weekend ahead,Piero de Sá
