Deactivate vs Suspend
Regarding User Life Cycle Settings, when a user is de-activated in AD, what's the difference between Suspend and Deactivate?

Hi Jon, thanks for your question! Here's an article on end user states that may help: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Directory/end-user-states.htm
Anyone on the Community know whether this would apply to AD?
- JonS.17643 (Customer)Thank you Molly.
So what I've gathered from your link is the following:
Unsuspending people changes their account status from Suspendedto Active. All app and group memberships are restored.
Suspending people is useful for temporary and contract workers and employees on leaves of absence if you want to pause and later resume access. This state is also useful if an employee leaves but the admin<javascript:void(0);>wants to review group and app assignments.
So deactivating a user means that they will lose all group memberships and app assignments. Would be helpful if they made this a 'tooltip' in the life cycle management setting.
Thanks,
Jon

When a user is deactivated in AD. The status changed to Deactivated in Okta as well. Suspend status usually ties to account lock out scenarios.
