Reset the user's password so that they do not have the credentials to login.

OR

Remove the user's permissions:

Go to Administration > Set up system security
Open the user account
Remove the groups selected in the "member of" box
Click OK to the following message: "This user has not been given any group rights. The user must be a member of at least one group before they will have access to the system."
Click Save and Close on the user account
Now when the user tries to login, they will receive the following message: "The system administrator has not given you security rights to access The Financial Edge system."
