[rt-users] how to disable user account in rt via script

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Noura,

There is a method in RT::User called SetDisabled that will probably do what 
you want.  Try loading the user you want to disable into a user object and 
then call the method like this:

   my $UserId = #### user id of the user you want to disable #####
   my $user = RT::User->new($RT::SystemUser);
   $user->Load($UserId);
   $user->SetDisabled();

I don't know what might happen if you do this to the current user (the 
person logged in to RT).

Good luck,
Gene
