Administration module

1. Added user retirement synchronisation strategy

Affected Bases: All

Roles affected: Administrators

Feature purpose: A retirement strategy for users has been added that allows to lock a user account when it's no longer available in the synchronisation rather than to delete the account. This feature only available for the configurable user syncronisation

Feature description:

• In the user synchronisation we now have two retirement strategies:

LOCK_USER_STRATEGY - Will set the "Lock user account" checkbox to true and thus lock the user account. The user is no longer able to login, the account is not deleted

DELETE_USER_STRATEGY - Will delete the user account in Pure.

The default strategy is the LOCK_USER_STRATEGY
