Is there a way to enable a disabled user?

Question

Hello there, I'm actually creating users via UserManager's API and when I create them i set user.disable() (from User's interface). Why isn't there a method that does the opposite? I want to enable the disabled user, what should I do? Is it possible that no one ever thought to make a enable method?

Hi @lezzowski1 ,

as per the documentation, when you use the disable method, if you leave the reason parameter as null, the user can still be accessible through UserManager.getAuthorizable(String). If the reason parameter is a non-null string, the user can no longer be able to log in further.

https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/6-5/javadoc/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/User.html#disable-java.lang.String-

see if you can do anything with the disabled user with a null parameter.

Here is the sample logic to enable the user again.

ResourceResolver resourceResolver = // obtain a ResourceResolver object
UserManager userManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);
String userId = "user123"; // ID of the user to enable
User user = (User) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId);
if (user != null && !user.isEnabled()) {
    user.disable(null); // Enable the user
    Session session = user.getSession();
    session.save();
}

Hope this is helpful.
