To properly remove a user’s access to a Zulip organization, it does not
|
|
|
|
|
suffice to change their password or deactivate their account in an external
|
|
|
|
|
email system, since the user’s API key and bot API keys will still be
|
|
|
|
|
active. Instead, you need to deactivate the user’s account using the Zulip
|
|
|
|
|
organization administration interface.

The user will be logged out immediately and not be able to log back in. The
|
|
|
|
|
user's bots will also be deactivated. Lastly, the user will be unable to
|
|
|
|
|
create a new Zulip account in your organization using their deactivated
|
|
|
|
|
email address.

Organization administrators can reactivate a deactivated user. They will
|
|
|
|
|
have the same API key and bot API keys, but the bots will be deactivated
|
|
|
|
|
until the user manually [reactivates](deactivate-or-reactivate-a-bot) them
|
|
|
|
|
again.
