If not when will it be implemented ?

That feature request is tracked here: Enable / Disable user

Users can be disabled by using ACL. For example, to disable access to the user bob@localhost, add this line to ejabberd.cfg and restart:

{acl,blocked,{user,"bob","localhost"}}.

You can also add, edit and remove ACLs with a web browser in the ejabberd Web Admin, or with a Jabber client and Ad-hoc commands.

When the user tries to login with a Jabber client to his account, he will be rejected with the error message: Not Allowed.
