Thanks @mellerbeck . Could you share a bit about your use case? Are you finding that you need to frequently disable Operators? ---

As part of the normal lifecycle, yes we do want to be able to disable Operators. ---

I’m working through a long list, and ‘click ops’ are never my favorite. ---

Makes sense. Is this a one-off request, or one you expect to be getting frequently? Asking because we’re more able to prioritize APIs that are frequently invoked. ---

It should be used regularly, in line with regular employee turnover. Complexity wise, I’m assuming most of the back end work is done, just needs to be exposed through the API layer ---

Hi Did you check the SCIM feature: [Configure user provisioning with SAML SSO](https://support.tulip.co/docs/configure-user-provisioning-with-saml-sso) SCIM API provide a disable end point (DEL). We are currently implementing this, for automatic HR offboarding process with our IDP. ---

It’s fairly common that not all operators have an active directory account which a SAML integration would rely upon.
