It would be highly beneficial to have a feature in Elasticsearch and Kibana that allows administrators to enable or disable user accounts directly from the UI or API. This functionality would enhance user management by making it more convenient to manage access control without deleting user accounts.
Benefits

  1. User Experience: Disabled users could be re-enabled without losing any settings, roles, or permissions assigned to them.
  2. Security: When an employee leaves temporarily or requires restricted access, disabling their account would be more secure than deleting and recreating it.
  3. Similar functionality is available in other identity and access management solutions and would make Kibana and Elasticsearch more robust.

Proposed Functionality

  1. Add a toggle or status field for users in the Kibana Security UI to enable/disable users.
  2. Provide an API endpoint in Elasticsearch to perform enable/disable actions on user accounts.
  3. Make the status of a user ("Enabled" or "Disabled") visible in the Kibana interface.
