Users get kicked out from Teams private channels when they are blocked on Active Directory

Hi all,
My customer block users on AD when they are on vacation, but the issue is that they lose access to their private channels on Teams right after. They need to be added one by one all again once they return.
Is it something we can work around or Teams is designed like this?

    I think that your customer needs to find another way to handle vacations than disabling users. This is actually the first time that I've ever heard it done. All of my customers just let them go on vacation. Disabling the account is an administrative nightmare.

      Hi, Ed!
      I totally agree with you, however I'm trying to find some official MS Teams docs regarding this. I couldnt find any.
      Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply!

        Found this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/channels/logon-reenabled-user-not-see-previous-joined-teams

        Just in case it is still relevant.
