Deactivating a user does not conceal them from Project Membership (though it does stop them from being visible in the Drop Down lists)  Project Membership does not have any Filters   We have long running projects (10+ years with releases every month in some cases) with literally hundreds of active users, including many contractors and interns.  We are transitioning these projects to Spira and we dont want to lose important information (like  Detected By ) when a user leaves us by removing them from the project. But at the same time we dont want project admins to have to manage user lists cluttered with an ever growing subset of deactivated users.  Do you have any suggestions?

It just means that when you click on an item and change it and save it,  you may have to assign it to someone active.
