# Deactivate or reactivate a user
|
||
|
||
Zulip realm administrators have the ability to deactivate or reactivate any
|
||
user's account in their realm.
|
||
|
||
## Deactivate a user
|
||
|
||
To properly remove a user’s access to a Zulip orgnanization, it does not
|
||
suffice to change their password or deactivate their account in the SSO system,
|
||
since neither of those actions prevents authentication with the user’s API key
|
||
or any API keys of the bots the user has created.
|
||
|
||
Instead, you should deactivate the user’s account using the Zulip administration
|
||
interface; this will also automatically deactivate any bots the user has
|
||
created.
|
||
|
||
1. Click the cog () in the upper right corner
|
||
of the right sidebar.
|
||
|
||
2. Select **Administration** from the dropdown menu that appears.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Upon clicking **Administration**, your view will be replaced with the
|
||
**Administration** page. Click the **Users** tab at the top of the
|
||
panel; it turns gray upon hover.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. In the **Users** section, click the red **Deactivate** button
|
||
to the right of the user account that you want to deactivate.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. After clicking the **Deactivate Account** button, a modal window titled
|
||
**Deactivate (user's email address)** will appear.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. To confirm the deletion of the user's account, click the red **Deactivate now**
|
||
button. Please note that any bots that the user maintains will be
|
||
disabled.
|
||
|
||
6. After clicking the **Deactivate now** button, the button will transform into
|
||
a orange **Reactivate** button, and the **Make admin** button will also
|
||
disappear, confirming the success of the account's deactivation.
|
||
|
||
The user will be logged out immediately and returned to the Zulip login page
|
||
and will not be able to log back in.
|
||
|
||
## Reactivate a user
|
||
|
||
Zulip realm administrators can choose to reactivate a user's deactivated account
|
||
by following the following steps.
|
||
|
||
1. Click the cog () in the upper right corner
|
||
of the right sidebar.
|
||
|
||
2. Select **Administration** from the dropdown menu that appears.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Upon clicking **Administration**, your view will be replaced with the
|
||
**Administration** page. Click the **Deactivated Users** tab at the top of the
|
||
panel; it turns gray upon hover.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. In the **Deactivated users** section, click the orange **Reactivate** button
|
||
to the right of the user account that you want to reactivate.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. After clicking the **Reactivate** button, the button will transform into a
|
||
red **Deactivate** button, confirming the success of the account's reactivation.
