**Feature level 303**

* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): User reactivation event is not sent
 | 
			
		||||
  to users who cannot access the reactivated user anymore.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): `add_members` and `remove_members`
 | 
			
		||||
  events with `user_group` type can now also be sent when reactivating
 | 
			
		||||
  and deactivating a user respectively.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /user_groups`](/api/get-user-groups),

  [`GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members/{user_id}`](/api/get-is-user-group-member),
 | 
			
		||||
  [`GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members`](/api/get-user-group-members):
 | 
			
		||||
  Deactivated users are not considered as members of a user group anymore.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): `realm/update_dict` and `user_group/update`
 | 
			
		||||
  events are now also sent when deactivating or reactivating a user, for
 | 
			
		||||
  settings which are set to anonymous groups having the user being deactivated
 | 
			
		||||
  or reactivated as direct member.
 | 
			
		||||
  Deactivated users are no longer returned as members of the user groups
 | 
			
		||||
  that they were members of prior to deactivation.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Settings, represented as
 | 
			
		||||
  [group-setting value](/api/group-setting-values), do not include deactivated
 | 
			
		||||
  users in the `direct_members` list for settings set to anonymous groups.
 | 
			
		||||
  [group-setting value](/api/group-setting-values), will never include
 | 
			
		||||
  deactivated users in the `direct_members` list for settings whose
 | 
			
		||||
  value is an anonymous group.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`PATCH /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members`](/api/update-user-group-members):
 | 
			
		||||
  Deactivated users cannot be added or removed from a user group.
 | 
			
		||||
  Deactivated users cannot be added or removed from a user group; they
 | 
			
		||||
  are now implicitly not members of any groups while deactivated.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): User reactivation event is not sent
 | 
			
		||||
  to users who cannot access the reactivated user anymore due to a
 | 
			
		||||
  `can_access_all_users_group` policy.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): The server will now send
 | 
			
		||||
  `user_group` events with the `add_members`/`remove_members`
 | 
			
		||||
  operations as appropriate when deactivating or reactivating a user,
 | 
			
		||||
  to ensure client state correctly reflects groups never containing
 | 
			
		||||
  deactivated users.
 | 
			
		||||
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): To ensure that [group-setting
 | 
			
		||||
  values](/api/group-setting-values) are correct, `realm/update_dict`
 | 
			
		||||
  and `user_group/update` events may now be by sent by the server when
 | 
			
		||||
  processing a deactivation/reactivation of a user, to ensure client
 | 
			
		||||
  state correctly reflects the state, given that deactivated users
 | 
			
		||||
  cannot have permissions in an organization.
