Hi guys,

so I am looking at User module. and I found that users can be deleted or blocked , but I am not sure what is the difference? aren’t these essentially the same?

    When a user tries to login, the controller will be trying to find out if the user is active:

    $this->userFacade->hasActiveUserByUsername($username);

    I think that blocking is a soft-delete, so you can reenable the customer later on again, just in case you need to.
    Deleting - as a counterpart - means hard-delete, not restorable.
    From a user's point of view they're both the same. A user account must be present and active, otherwise you can't log in.
    I haven't checked in detail, but it should pretty much work that way.
