Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/609

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Add a way to suspend users. The Account is allowed to login, but the User is suspended, disabled or archived by an admin.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a formal isDisabled (or isSuspended or isArchived) field to later suspend a user from accessing the app (via access controls etc.).

Extend the API to disable the via the User table, e.g. like await auth.api.removeMember() we can have await auth.api.disableUser() (or suspendUser() or archiveUser()).

Is this not already a feature within the admin plugin? check the ban user section in the docs, this will prevent users to log in.

I think there is a semantical difference if the account is banned or kind of soft deleted although still storing the user information.

this can be done using hooks and additional fields.

@Bekacru sure it can be done "manually" but it's so common that it would be nice if it were added out-of-the-box
