3743890 - Inactive user reactivated during profile update via SOAP User Administration API

Symptom

  • User administration reactivates the user each time while updating the inactive profile.
  • The payload sent does not include an 'active' flag.

Environment

SAP CPQ

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Use the user administration SOAP API to update the inactive user
  2. Send the request without including an ACTIVE node in the payload
  3. Observe that the user is reactivated.

Cause

When the ACTIVE node is not provided in the user administration SOAP API request, the user status defaults to active, causing inactive users to be reactivated during updates.

Resolution

  1. Edit the user administration SOAP API payload to explicitly include the <ACTIVE>FALSE</ACTIVE> node for the user.
  2. Send the update request and verify the user remains inactive after the profile change.
