Hello. 

 

If I use the Update User API call to change a users status to one of

 

active

inactive

cannot_delete_edit,

or cannot_delete_edit_upload

 

what are the side effects of the user's shared/collaborated folders for the inactive, cannot_delete_edit, and cannot_delete_edit_upload when the user is the owner of the folder and file? 

 

Do all of the shared folders permissions of co-owner, editors and other permissions stay in place despite the change in the user owner's status?

 

Thanks

Bill.

The documentation changed.  This is the current new page describing the user statuses
