# Deactivate or reactivate a user
|
||
|
||
{!admin-only.md!}
|
||
|
||
{!follow-steps.md!} deactivate or reactivate any user's account in your
|
||
organization.
|
||
|
||
## Deactivate 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 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.
|
||
|
||
{!go-to-the.md!} [Users](/#administration/user-list-admin)
|
||
{!admin.md!}
|
||
|
||
4. Click the **Deactivate** button to the right of the user account that you
|
||
want to deactivate.
|
||
|
||
4. After clicking the **Deactivate** button, a modal window titled
|
||
**Deactivate (user's email address)** will appear.
|
||
|
||
5. To confirm the deactivation of the user's account, click the **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 **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 organization administrators can choose to reactivate a user's deactivated account
|
||
by following the following steps.
|
||
|
||
{!go-to-the.md!} [Deactivated users](/#administration/deactivated-users-admin)
|
||
{!admin.md!}
|
||
|
||
4. Click the **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
|
||
**Deactivate** button, confirming the success of the account's reactivation.
