 +If you want to disable a user, perhaps because the staff member has left the organisation, then they must be made 'inactive':
 +  * Edit the user, uncheck the **Active** checkbox, click **OK**.
 +
 +If the **Active** checkbox is greyed out, it is because they are a member of a group. You will need to first remove them from the group before you can make them 'inactive':
 +  * Edit the user, change the **Is a member of** to ''None''
 +  * Edit the user, uncheck the **Active** checkbox, click **OK**.
