You can disable entries to prevent users from accessing them.
Disabling entries is useful when you want to perform maintenance operations. For example, you may want to disable a folder while you reorganize its content. When you disable a folder, the folder content is also disabled.
If an entry is disabled, the disabled icon appears beside the entry to indicate that it is disabled.
If the source entry is disabled, all shortcuts to the entry appear with the source disabled icon, indicating that it no longer works.
You must have read and write permissions for an entry to enable or disable it. You must also have traverse permissions on the folder that contains the entry.
In Reporting Center, locate the entry you want to disable and, in the Actions column, click the set properties button.
Click the General tab.
Select the Disable this entry check box.
Note: To enable a disabled entry, clear the Disable this entry check box.
Click OK.
If you have only read, execute, or traverse permissions for a disabled entry, you cannot see the entry in the portal. If you have write or set policy permissions for a disabled entry, it appears in the portal with the disabled icon.
