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,
