Hi Jarom,
Content Matrix cannot migrate deleted or disabled users from a source to a target environment. You may refer to the article below for a workaround:
Authorship columns show migration account on target

I understand the work around, which is reason for asking why this is the case. What is the limitation on how Content Matrix works? Why does it need an active user account?
Hi Jarom,
It's actually a SharePoint API limitation. When Content Matrix copies a user, a method such as validateUser will be called to check if it is in Active Directory and active. If not, the SharePoint API will not allow Content Matrix to add it.

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
