ALTER SERVICE ACCOUNT ... DISABLE turns off a service account without deleting it.

Syntax​

ALTER SERVICE ACCOUNT serviceAccountName DISABLE;

Description​

A disabled service account keeps its permissions and tokens; it simply cannot authenticate, and cannot be assumed, until it is enabled again.

To remove one permanently instead, use DROP SERVICE ACCOUNT.

Examples​

ALTER SERVICE ACCOUNT client_app DISABLE;

Verify with SHOW SERVICE ACCOUNTS, which reports false in its enabled column.
