How should I allow my members to cancel their accounts for my site? - user-interface

What is the best way to allow a member to cancel their account? Should I simply have them click a cancel button on the site?

Have a button or something that allows canceling the account with confirmation so that the user doesn't cancel by mistake. Also don't delete the account, have deleted flag in the users table so you can reactivate that account if needed.

UX: should I hide basic functionality that users can't reach?

I'm working on dashboards now, e.g. employee form. Some users have permissions to delete employee and some are not. Usually these permissions are changed only if user assigned to new type, e.g. from the simple user to manager, so quite rarely (because you can't just give permission for deleting only an employee, you'll have all pack of permissions to delete in other forms too). What is the best approach here:
Disable "delete" button for all the users who don't have permissions and while hovering on it show "Only managers can delete employees, request the permission" with the link to request permission.
Don't show the "delete" button at all for all the users who don't have permission.
Why I'm confused is just because View, Edit and Delete is kinda basic functionality, so not sure it's a good idea to disable "delete". In all other specific actions (that only managers can do) I don't show the buttons, the question is only about these "basic" ones.

Office 365 - how to disable birthday calendar for user

I would like to disable a birthday calendar for one of our users. I know, how to do it for myself (the user that is currently logged in), but how can I do it for another user? I am, obiously, an administrator of the environment. I tried to do it by delegating an access to her mailbox, but in the options, I access the ones that are regarding my account, not users. Do you have any advice, if this can be done "ninja style" (without bothering user at all)?
I am looking for the same thing but have been told it does not "yet" exist.
Here is the uservoice to vote for this to happen:
https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/264636-general/suggestions/19769992-enable-disable-birthday-calendar-and-holidays-cale
My recommended work-around until that is done...
Ask the user:
On this page:
https://outlook.office365.com/mail/options/calendar/view/birthdayCalendar
Please untick "Turn on the birthday calendar" and then choose "save"
(URL will need to be adjusted if you use on-prem email)
I agree that user-intervention is not ideal, but in this case it will be self-explanatory without the user needing to know which menu this option is hidden behind - they will just get taken straight to the right spot.
Enable SSO on their computer so they wont get asked for credentials when opening OWA.

Joomla create a confirmation button that send email to administrator

i have a big problem. I have to create a button that is taking the name and email of registred users and sending automatic email to the admin for confirmation.
Joomla already has a feature so that admins must approve the registration of a user. Have a look here at the Joomla documentation:
https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_user%27s_registration_approval_by_admins
If you need a little more functionality, you may want to consider a 3rd party extension such as Admin Approval
Hope this helps

How to add a custom column to Magento's "Manage Customers" view

In order for a user to become an active member of our site, they need to click on the confirmation link sent to their email address. When we click on "Manage Customers" on the backend of Magento, we can see which customer group the customer belongs in, but we cannot tell whether or not they have activated their account without clicking on each individual account. Is there a way we can add a column to show and filter users who have activated / not activated their account?
Please help!
Thanks
If the value that tells if an account is activated or not is stored in an attribute, this extension should do the trick : Enhanced Admin Grids
