Suspending an expired user

[rodeezy (Ryan Odening)]

I use the sso feature to connect from my personal site to my discourse site.

I want to suspend users on my discourse site that have cancelled their membership on my personal site.

Also, I want to unsuspend users on my discourse site that reactivate their accounts on my personal site.

Suspend a user via the API

I spent quite some time to figure this out so I thought I’ll share it for the next person who want to do this: suspend a user via the API. If you use Discourse web interface, you can go to the route /admin/users/:username and then use the suspend button. You can find the suspend method in UsersController. Well turns out that you should not use :username in the route but the user_id. To conclude, to disable a user via the API, use /admin/users/:user_id/suspend
