Hi! Does the Descope node SDK allow for deactivating and reactivating tenants? I can't find it in the documentation, but I see that the

update()

tenant method takes in a

disabled

parameter, would this update the

active

status?

Hi, I'm Descope's AI assistant. I've put together an initial response below based on your question. ### Tenant Management in Descope Node SDK #### Tenant

update()

Method • Parameters: ◦

id

: The tenant's ID ◦

name

: The tenant's name ◦

selfProvisioningDomains

: List of associated domains ◦

customAttributes

: Custom attribute key/value pairs • Note: There is no

disabled

parameter on

tenant.update()

, and the SDK does not provide dedicated methods for activating or deactivating tenants. #### Activate/Deactivate Functionality • The activate/deactivate pattern is applicable to access keys only: ◦ Activate Access Key:

descopeClient.management.accessKey.activate(id)

◦ Deactivate Access Key:

descopeClient.management.accessKey.deactivate(id)

#### Recommendations • If you need to enable/disable tenants, consider the following options: ◦ Use

tenant.delete()

(note: this action is irreversible). ◦ Manage tenant access at the user or access key level instead.

Hi @Rina Simcha The Node SDK's

tenant.update()

method doesn't currently expose the

disabled

parameter directly in its signature — so it won't affect the active status via that method. However, you have two other options: 1. Descope Console — You can activate or disable tenants directly from the Tenants page by clicking the three-dot menu on the tenant row. 2. Management REST API — The underlying API endpoint (

POST /v1/mgmt/tenant/update

) does support a

disabled

boolean field, so you can call it directly if you need to programmatically toggle tenant status. Docs: https://docs.descope.com/api/management/tenants/update-tenant Just let me know if you need any further assistance.

Oh right, and I apologize for the confusion! The Node SDK does expose

disabled

as an optional parameter in

tenant.update()

. Passing

disabled: true

will deactivate the tenant, and

disabled: false

will reactivate it. Like:

await descopeClient.management.tenant.update(
  'tenant-id',
  'Tenant Name',
  [], // selfProvisioningDomains
  {}, // customAttributes
  false, // enforceSSO
  true  // disabled — set to false to reactivate
);

Thank you 🙂 So all this does is update the 'active' status right?

Exactly!
