A disabled user account prevents a user from logging into the system. A disabled user account must be enabled by another user before it can be used again to access the system.

An account is disabled when the account holder's access to the system is temporarily restricted. For example, you want to restrict certain account holder's access to the system after a test administration is over and until the next administration begins. Depending on your program and organization's policies these criteria will vary.
