Able to disable users (instead of delete) to preserve activity history (OD-2246)

jbauer opened 12 months ago

We are now in a situation that we have to disable access to OneDev for multiple users but there is no satisfying solution.

The requirements are:

If a user must be deleted, then OneDev should keep the user name everywhere in OneDev instead of changing the name to "Unknown". Reason is that deleting users to deny access should not degrade the ability to search for issues, etc of these users.
Alternatively being able to disable a given user
- User should not receive any notification
- The login UI should not mention that the user is disabled but instead behave as if the user does not exist
- Password reset function should not work
- The disabled state should be shown in the user list UI (admin UI)

Currently we can only delete a user but then loose context in issues etc or rename the user, e.g. "_disabled", and disable some notifications.

We are looking into a similar feature. Just because we eventually have people (temporaritly) parting the company or don't want individuals to sign on again, but we don't want to loose context of the who the user was. side note: we are using an external auth provider (Entra ID).

Exactly the same use case for us. Would be great to have a full transparent history.
