I manage a Confluence wiki for a private school Board. Every year a substantial percentage of the board members are replaced, and every year the number of deactivated users in the system grows. The number of inactive users outnumbers the number of active users.
Because of this situation, working with groups/users/permissions is not confidence inspiring when you see the inactive users listed and available. When working with permissions, it would be helpful if inactive users were not listed or available when selecting individual users (i.e. need to make a user active before it can be selected for use). Secondly, in the global admin Users page, all the users are returned from "Show all users" – okay, that's self-evident why it returns all users, but without qualification of the users listed it creates a confidence problem, with people second-guess whether the inactive users are really inactive, and no way to see that quickly without inspecting them. It would be great if the show-all-users was "show all active users" and "show all inactive users" or something similar so that when working with users I only have to see the active ones, and am assured as to which are inactive or active at a glance. Best regards, Gavin. Changing and deleting user should be more user friendly - generally.

Allow deletion of users, or alternatively hide inactive users in most parts of Confluence
Can you please elaborate on how a deactivated user is still a security issue?
