# Deactivate or reactivate a user

|
||
## Deactivate (ban) a user
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
administrative interface.
|
||
|
||
Note that organization administrators cannot deactivate organization owners.
|
||
|
||
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
||
{settings_tab|user-list-admin}
|
||
|
||
4. Click the **Deactivate** button to the right of the user account that you
|
||
want to deactivate.
|
||
|
||
4. Click **Deactivate now** to confirm.
|
||
|
||
{end_tabs}
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
## Reactivate a user
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
||
{settings_tab|deactivated-users-admin}
|
||
|
||
4. Click the **Reactivate** button to the right of the user account that you
|
||
want to reactivate.
|
||
|
||
{end_tabs}
