You can make users inactive when you want to block their access to Brightspace, but want to retain their data and associated information for administrative purposes. Deactivating users hides all their data but doesn’t delete or remove their enrollments.
|
Important: In some Brightspace areas, information for inactive users may still appear, allowing instructors to complete any outstanding tasks related to previously submitted work. For example, in Assignments, inactive users can remain visible while evaluations are being finalized.

When you reactivate users, the system restores all their data in any course offerings/org units they were previously enrolled.
