Deactivate User

You can hide Users by clicking the Deactivate hyperlink. This is equivalent to change the Status to Inactive when Editing the User. Notice that you cannot fully delete Users from FogBugz. They need to stay due to historical data.

In FogBugz, when you de-activate a user, it becomes inactive and frees up the license seat but the existing cases remain intact.
