Does devise provide an already built in method for disabling user accounts so I can disable accounts without any additional coding
Not built in, but you could easily write your own method to prevent an account from logging in. Simply throw a Boolean of active: true/false and write a method to activate/deactivate the account. Then in your application controller have a method that checks the status of an account and if it does not meet the active true state then force it to logout and send a flash message “Your account has been disabled”. If you google, there a lot of examples on this.

Force it to log out with redirect to ?
Force it to logout with the standard devise logout method.
Read the documentation for :lockable
That said, how exactly do you intend to "disable accounts"? From a console, through a form? You will have to do *some* coding to accomodate whatever approach(es) you choose.
LOL, I just read the original message. ‘without any additional coding’ seems to indicate the OP probably should not be using rails, with it being an application framework rather than a drag and drop site builder.
Saying that you could probably lock the account perminately with some cleaver setup and a bit of SQL, which is almost not coding.
If you enabled the :lockable feature, all you'd have to do would be to "log in" with a bad password N times (whatever you've config'd) and boom, user locked out.
I'd personally prefer to write a simple admin method, but...
