# Deactivate or reactivate a bot
|
||
|
||
Zulip realm administrators have the ability to deactivate or reactivate any bots
|
||
in their realm.
|
||
|
||
## Deactivate a bot
|
||
|
||
To properly remove a bot’s access to a Zulip organization, it does not suffice
|
||
to deactivate it in the SSO system, since that action does not prevent
|
||
authentication with any API keys the bot has.
|
||
|
||
Instead, you should deactivate the bot using the Zulip administration interface.
|
||
|
||
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 **Bots** tab at the top of the
|
||
panel; it turns gray upon hover.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. In the **Bots** section, click the red **Deactivate** button to the right of
|
||
the bot that you want to deactivate.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. After clicking the **Deactivate** button, the button will transform into
|
||
a orange **Reactivate** button, and the **Name** and **Email** of the bot will
|
||
be stricken through, confirming the success of the bot's deactivation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Reactivate a bot
|
||
|
||
Zulip realm administrators can choose to reactivate a deactivated bot 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 **Bots** tab at the top of the
|
||
panel; it turns gray upon hover.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. In the **Bots** section, click the orange **Reactivate** button to the right of
|
||
the bot that you want to reactivate.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. After clicking the **Reactivate** button, the button will transform into
|
||
a red **Deactivate** button, and the **Name** and **Email** of the bot will
|
||
be cleared of strikethrough, confirming the success of the bot's reactivation.
