How to prevent a user to perform a login

Hi,

I want to create a user with admin permissions but with no option of logging in the environment.
The purpose of this task is to give our partner an external access to Salesforce by API (so he could open cases for example) without exposing him to our data.

Or maybe there is another, better way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sandhya, thanks for the quick answer.

In the meantime, I built a workaround: 
I set the login hours to 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM (= zero login hours).
It seems to solve it. 

Is that a good approach?

Hi Sandhya, thanks for the quick response.

In the meantime, I have created a workaround:
I have limited the login hours to 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM (= zero login hours), so the user can never log in.

Is that a good approach?

Thanks in advance.
