To Enable/Disable a Site User in the "User Management" Page
If necessary, it is possible to change the status of an "Enabled" or "Disabled" site user into the opposite status (the "Pending" or "Pending Password Request" statuses are managed by the system and CANNOT be edited).
You can enable/disable multiple site users in the "User Management" page, at the same time, as long as the selected users all have the same current status ("Enabled" or "Disabled").
Be aware that site user's with a "Disabled" status will NOT have access to the MCL-Mobility Platform account/site(s) unless the status is changed to "Enabled".
Step-by-step

button will NOT activate.
3. Click . The ensuing "Change Status for ..." window will be adapted to the current status of the selected user(s).
Example of a bulk status change for multiple users:

The status changes are immediately applied to the selected user(s).
To Enable/Disable a Site User in a "User Details" Page

If you change a user's status to "Disabled", he will NOT be able to access MCL-Mobility Platform until you change it back to "Enabled".
Step-by-step
1. Open the "User Details" page of the user whose status you want to change.
2. Confirm the user's current status. You can only execute the alteration if the user is currently "Enabled" or "Disabled".

The status changes are immediately applied to the selected user.
