HI Charaniya,

Yes ,  "Active" flag to 'F' is for inactive users.
Please follow this Atlassian document for the exact details regarding disabling users via database query. You will find the reference based on your Confluence version & database type.

But I highly recommend to check with Atlassian support before making any changes to database.
