Issue with beforeupdate Trigger on User object

I've got a beforeUpdate trigger on user that is supposed to do some work when the user is deactivated.  However the code seemed to not pass the below condition:

 

if (i.isactive == false)
{
   //do some work here
}

 

Shouldn't I be detecting for the Isactive field for this?  

 

TIA!

My first thought is that a before insert trigger will not fire at all in this case as the user is already inserted. I would try a before update trigger.

My bad, I meant beforeupdate trigger. Not enough coffee this morning.

Your logic is correct and it should work. If you could post your code,i may be able to help you further.

 

i tried something like this and it worked.

 

trigger beforeUpdateonUser on User (before update) {
    
    List<User> ulist=new List<User>();
    for(User u:Trigger.new){
        User uold=Trigger.oldMap.get(u.id);
        
        if((u.IsActive==false) && (uold.IsActive ==true)) {
            u.FirstName ='Inactive User';
            ulist.add(u);
          }
    }
}
