I can’t speak for the developers, but one place where you might want a different effect is when someone has a serious illness or is pregnant and will be away for work for a time, but you don’t want to totally destroy their account. The “invalid temporarily” state lets you differentiate between someone who is just out for a short time, vs someone who has left the organization permanently.  As Leonardo says, the effect is very similar.

Hi Jober,

There is no difference functionally speaking. Maybe the OTRS developers could share their motivations to include both but for now, use either one
