Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

When a user needs to be temporarily prevented from logging in-but their records, role, and historical data need to remain intact-the best practice is to Freeze the user. Freezing an account stops the user from accessing the system immediately without "Deactivating" them. Deactivation can be problematic if the user is a "running user" for dashboards or is part of active hierarchy logic that might break if the account is disabled. Freezing is a simple "one-click" action on the user record. Reassigning the license (Option A) would require deactivating the user first. Changing login hours (Option B) or IP addresses (Option D) at the profile level would impact all users assigned to that profile, not just the individual manager on leave. Freezing provides a targeted and temporary solution for managing individual user access.
