# 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 users 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 users API key
or any API keys of the bots the user has created.
Instead, you should deactivate the users 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.
