We have setup a new environment in production. It has been few months and now start get requests for disabling DB accounts, as the users move out of the project. I understand there is no option to really disable the user. So we revoke all the privilege of the user and lock the account. One challenge I face is distinguishing the active and disabled users.

In a typical production environment, does it make sense to have the account locked? How should things work for a typical production environment?

Regards,
Antony

on NONE of the production DB Servers I manage, does anyone other than me (DBA) have any active schema.
only "application" schema are active on any Production server.

Our client works on a research and development project. Hence the business data is directly accessed by the clients have read-only access. So there are people having DB account with read-only access.

Locking an account is the way to disable it.
If it is not the case for you, define what you mean by "disable".

You can lock or drop unused accounts , but keep in mind that if you decided to drop them you have to be sure that these accounts not having a special schema and data+ no need to keep their actions history
