Can we have an error pop up for User if "User is inactive"?

if the user is inactive and trying to save record that time can pop up one error msg by saying - "Requestor is inactive- please reassign to an active user on the team"

Hi Amruta,

Try with below Validation rule on User object. 
AND(NOT(ISNEW()), Isactive=False)
If this helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks!!

HI Ankaiah , 
Thanks for your fast response ,
Actually in my requirement there is one object name with WORKFLOW .
if the inactive users are going to submit record of worlfow object  that time they should got this error.

Ok, WORKFLOW object have lookup field to User?
As per my understanding, when user tries to submit the workflow record with inactive user then you souldnt allow them to save the workflow record.. Am i correct?

I think you are giving system fields.
Inactive users shouldnt be able login to salesforce.

Can you please check is there any custom lookup fields on workflow object?
