I think the issue is, normally when new student accounts are created (ie not imported) LAMS checks whether a student already exits or has been deleted and so does not allow the same accounts to be re-created and students to be added to groups if they have been disabled.

But we found an exception ie we group imported students that we thought were new but one of them had been previously disabled and we intially could not understand why we couldn't find the account or log into the account as sysadmin (also the student couldn't log in), but we could see the student in the group!

After further checking we realised the student had been disabled a year ago!

So LAMS allows previously-disabled students to be group imported into a group but does not give a warning sign to sysadmin that the account had been previously disbled.
