From grouper-users discussion: this will impact grouperLoader and needing a way to assign an attribute to a subject for those allowed to do so... which could just be adding the subject to a group to get the attribute.

A “disabled” account is one we would like to just “freeze” so it doesn’t change access or services or what have you (automatically). A “freeze” or “disable” flag on a subject would mean a loader job wanting to add or delete the subject on groups would NOT actually add/delete - in old mainframe parlance - it would be a no-op. However, manual operations would still work - or non-loader operations would still work.

Thoughts?

And Chad’s new reporting mechanism would be able to report on these frozen subjects
