Keeping user deletion in sync with SSO

I’m pretty sure you can use the API to mark someone in Discourse as inactive kinda like the pseudo-code below.

	if ( $wordpress_membership_status == 'inactive' )
		$url = $url_base.'admin/users/'.$discourse_userid.'/deactivate.json?'.$api_auth;
	else if ( $wordpress_membership_status == 'active' )
		$url = $url_base.'admin/users/'.$discourse_userid.'/activate.json?'.$api_auth;
	$ch=curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
	$response = curl_exec($ch);

Disclaimer: There’s probably (usually) is a better way to do things than the way I do them! :smiley: But perhaps this is helpful.

We have code in place such as the above but I haven’t checked lately if it’s still working.
