Disable User in ASPNET identity 2.0

Question

I am looking for a way to disable the user instead of deleting them from the system, this is to keep the data integrity of the related data. But seems ASPNET identity only

Answer 1

The default LockoutEnabled property for a User is not the property indicating if a user is currently being locked out or not. It's a property indicating if the user should be subject to lockout or not once the AccessFailedCount reaches the MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout value. Even if the user is locked out, its only a temporary measure to bar the user for the duration of LockedoutEnddateUtc property. So, to permanently disable or suspend a user account, you might want to introduce your own flag property.
