I find it easiest to use Roles to do this. Have a ActiveUser role and tag your controllers or actions with a Authorize attribute.
[Authorize(Roles = "ActiveUser")]
Then some simple admin to add or remove users from the role to unlock and lock their access to everything protected with that roles attribute.
Roles.AddUserToRole(user.Username, "ActiveUser");
Roles.RemoveUserFromRole(user.Username, "ActiveUser");
