Deleting an ID from a vault or marking an ID inactive
You can delete an ID from a vault. You can also mark an ID as inactive, which moves it to the Inactive User IDs view of the vault and prevents use of the ID for vault user operations. An inactive ID can be restored, for example if a user who has left an organization returns.

The following table summarizes how to delete IDs from a vault, how to mark IDs in a vault as inactive, and how to restore inactive IDs.
