This appears to be working as expected. All users except those with admin rights can be deactivated/activated via the edit screen or the button in the view. The status listed is correct in the overall user list. Might be nice to search/sort by status.

@Manny Rodriguez thanks for the explanation! Let’s talk about this today. I’d rather not go beyond the original scope for this JIRA since there are bigger ambitions for eventually combining Manage Users and Manage User Access that will probably need some larger reworking of these areas.

@Christine Di Bella This one was a bit confusing, since Manage User Access and Manage Users share the same view/HTML page and buttons are shown or not shown depending on which menu item was clicked.

Looking at them side by side, here’s how the behavior has changed:
Before ANW-97:

Manage Users => only shows edit button
Manage User Access => only shows groups button

After ANW-97:

Manage Users => shows edit button and activate/deactivate button
Manage User Access => shows groups button, edit and activate/deactivate button

So Manage User Access is still the only way to edit groups, but now the edit and activate/deactivate show there as well.

This is easy to change so that Manage User Access only shows the groups button, as before.

IMO, I think there should be just one user control page, where all aspects of a user can be managed. I’d advocate for having both manage users and manage user access show all buttons, and we keep the two menu items for now. That way, users don’t get lost if they were used to going to one or the other. This is also easy to do since both functions already use the same view code.

@Manny Rodriguez it looks like this page (which should be Manage Users) has mistakenly Manage User Access (on the sandbox that’s at http://sandbox.archivesspace.org/users/manage_access ), which is a place where specific permissions have been assigned. Or perhaps mistakenly added parts of Manage Users to Manager User Access. These are two different functions.

@Manny Rodriguez Here in 2021, the two main outcomes we’d like for now are:

• On the user record itself, have a check box to indicate a user is inactive. It should be at the bottom, after grant system administrator permissions.

• On the user browse page, have a column that indicates a user’s active/inactive status: column heading Active?; values = true/false. It should be after the Administrator column.
