It's possible to select an archived user as an owner of a WorkItem
One answer
Hi, Katrin
If you enable "show archived users" then you can find the archived user in the list and select it as the owner of a workitem. This is actually how it is supposed to work.
There is an enhancement work item to indicate which user is archived and that could help to avoid selecting the archived used, you may want to vote for it:
