Suspending a staff member blocks their DDLS access without removing them from the team. This is useful when someone is on leave or under review.

Admin-Side Feature

How to Suspend #

• (‘ol’, ‘Go to DMSI DDLS > Team > Team Members.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Find the staff member.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Click Edit.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Change their Status to Suspended.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Click Save.’)

Effect of Suspension #

• The staff member remains in the Team Members list with status “Suspended”.
• They can still log in to WordPress, but their DDLS capabilities are blocked.
• The user_can() permission check returns false for all 13 DDLS capabilities while suspended.
• Their role assignment and history are preserved.

Reactivating a Suspended Member #

• (‘ol’, ‘Edit their record.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Change status back to Active.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Save.’)

Their access is restored immediately.

Suspension vs. Removal #

Use suspension for temporary situations. Use removal when someone leaves the organization permanently.
