When a user is suspended, all the associated user accounts become inactive. Restoring an
inactive user returns the user accounts to an active state.
Before you begin
Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not

contact your system administrator.
Procedure
- From the navigation tree, select Manage Users.
- On the Select a User page, complete these steps:

field, select an attribute from the Search by list, and then click
Search.
- To restore all of the individual accounts that belong to the user that you selected,
select the Include individual accounts when suspending, restoring, or deleting
users check box.
Note: Sponsored accounts associated with the user are not affected. A suspended sponsored account
must be restored through the account table.

multiple users are selected, Restore is disabled.

you want to restore.

If a password is required to restore the individual accounts of the user, you are prompted to
change the password.

-
- Individual accounts use the existing synchronized password. You are not prompted to change the
password for individual accounts.
- If no synchronized password exists, you are prompted to change the password. The passwords for
all the individual accounts associated with the user are changed to the new password.
- If password synchronization is disabled
- You are prompted to change the password. The passwords for all the listed individual accounts
are changed to the new password. Individual accounts on services that do not require password change
on user restore are not affected by the password change.
- If you want to schedule your change request for a later date and time, select
Effective Date.
- Click the calendar and clock icons to select a date and time.
- Click Submit.
- On the Success page, click
Close.

status.
