The system will mark them as unavailable and hide them from the login drop down. The function would tick unavailable against the user in [system data/Users ] and tick the excluded permission in user permissions.
This would need to be monitored by the Admin user and if the user needs turning back on, this will need to be done manually by an Admin.
