Inactive - Check box if a resource is no longer going to be used in resource planning or using the system.
When editing a resource, it cannot be changed from a named user to a generic or vice-versa. The Display Name field cannot be modified for a named user, as it is tied to that user's Office 365 account.
Marking a resource Inactive will remove that user from the license count for your organization.
Any additional resource-level fields that have been configured on the Fields page (under the Resource heading) will show on the Resource form. Update the fields as needed.
