Disable User

Post by snifty »

Version of script: 2.6.5
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: disable user

Write your message below:
Is there a way to disable user (instead of deleting them)?
The reason ist if a user is leaving the company and I delete his ticket-user, all tickes get unassigned and the statistic is not valid any more...

Thanks in advance!

You can try this, but dont know if code works with the actual hesk version.

Also, Mikes Hesk-Mods has this function too, me believe.

Correct, Mods for HESK has the option to disable a user. They won't be able to log in; however tickets will still be assigned to that user.

Another idea would be to change the user's password and turn auto-assign tickets to off for that user.

Thank you for the answers!

I'll have a look at the script.

Only changing the password won't do the trick, because the completed and assigned tickets should stay at that - disabled - user (and so in the report). Furthermore it should not be possible to assign new tickets to that user (auto assign already off).

I know, these are just work-arounds because this functionality is not offered by HESK.

Perhaps renaming the user to for example "[DISABLED] John Doe" will tell other users not to assign tickets to this person?
