[Building Sakai] Hiding unused accounts

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Will,

It should be pretty trivial to mark a user account as locked and prevent 
logins/visibility. In fact:
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16499

This would require a few code changes to the user object and a few of 
the UserDirectoryService methods to filter out the locked accounts.

Are all of your accounts internal to Sakai? If so you'd need this mod.
If you had an LDAP integration you could possibly filter the accounts at 
the LDAP level.

cheers,
Steve
