Suspend without negative punishment

Hi,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to prevent a user from logging in (we use SSO) - without negatively suspending the user’s account which would result in a ‘suspension’ record?

Thanks.

You can use your sso to suspend them with whatever means it provides. Discourse will never know and there will be no repercussions.

You could move them to a discourse group that has no privileges (but that’s likely not easy, depending on your setup).

Unfortunately the SSO option is out of the door as it won’t be a viable solution (for the company at least). Changing groups isn’t useful either as it’s wayyy too difficult to afterwards re-instate those groups.

Thank you for your help though.

If you suspend someone once you unsuspend them you can clear their penalty history therefore leaving them with no record.

I don’t know of one off hand.

However you might be able to craft a theme-component or plugin that when a user or group is added to the component. It disables most navigation/notifications.

That only provides pm to staff and logout?

This maybe of use
