What is the difference between deleted vs disabled(inactive) users? cloud/server Jira

This is a complex question, so please feel free to share your any considerations or proposals where I should look for any relevant/actual info.

CLOUD JIRA = CJ
SERVER JIRA = SJ

User management features/ behaviour is under discussion.

1) What is the difference between CJ remove user and SJ delete user? From BA view and software point of view.

  • If we are looking for a deleted user by using CJ API, this user will be returned and we can get access to user Full name/mail/username. In a case of SJ API, it will resolve this user as NOT EXISTING user and everything that we can get this is user USERNAME. In short, for SJ deleted user will be hard deleted, for CJ user is still present.

2) What is the difference between removed/deleted CJ SJ user and inactive/disabled CJ SJ user? From BA view and software point of view.

  • CJ API and SJ can return info about users if they are disabled.

3) Who can make user disabled? or what makes user disabled?

4) What information SJ will store? in case

  • user was disabled /deactivated
  • user was deleted

What information CJ will store? in case

  • user was disabled /deactivated
  • user was removed
