Deactivating a user is when Administrators manually disable a user's login. It is meant to be temporary. The user might be disabled for a number of reasons. For instance, a user thinks their account is compromised so login is prevented while this is under investigation. The user has entered an incorrect password too many times and the system has flagged the user. Just like when a user is made permanently inative, they will not be able to login.
