Deactivate User but retain data

When an employee leaves the company, we want to deactivate a User, but retain their data on our sheets (for history reference). If we choose "Remove User Sharing Access", will this simply remove their ability to log into our Smartsheet account?

The Status remains "Active" for this employee. Is there a way to change it to "Inactive"?

Thanks. - Dan

I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
