<@U04UQ68083H> how to prevent a certain user from logging in without deleting their account (I am looking for something like a block list for potentially malicious users)

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you can explore the Ory documentation for more information on managing user access and permissions: <https://www.ory.sh/docs/>

Hello <@U04BDTCNATA>
You should be able to update the identity to status “inactive”

```# Every identity has a state. Inactive identities can't log into the system.
state: active```
<https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api#tag/identity/operation/updateIdentity>
<https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/overview#identity-example>

Let me know if that works for you!

`/reminder to self to put this into docs more clearly so the bot learns it`

Ahh I missed that field, that’s great, just what I need, ty very much!
