The process to suspend or disable user accounts is in two parts and needs to be undertaken by an appropriate person with SIMS System Management and Hosted Applications User Management permissions. Firstly the users SIMS system manager account needs to be marked as inactive, after which their Hosted Applications account needs to be marked as disabled or suspended. Both of these actions are reversible should the member of staff return to school following a period of extended absence via an email to scomis@devon.gov.uk.
