Removing or Suspending Users
Org Administrators can suspend (temporarily disable) or delete (permanently remove) users when team membership changes. Suspension preserves the account record so you can reactivate it later; deletion erases the account and audit trail forever.
Tip: Always suspend first if you think the user might return—reactivation is one click, while deletion requires recreating the account from scratch.
Suspend or Delete a User
Sign in with an administrator account.
Navigate to Settings › Users.
Locate the user you want to modify.
Delete User – Select the User and click on Delete Selected and Confirm the pop up icon to erase the account permanently.
Suspend / Activate – click Activate/De-activate to toggle the account’s status.
Confirm the action by clicking OK in the dialog.
What Happens Next?
Suspend
User cannot log in; data and permissions remain intact.
Yes – click Activate to restore access.
Delete
User account is removed from ARM; historical records remain in audit logs but cannot be reassigned.
No – must create a new account if needed again.
Best Practices
Suspend first if unsure—reactivation is easier than re-creating roles, labels, and permissions.
Reassign approvals or scheduled tasks before deleting a user to avoid orphaned work.
Periodically review Settings › Users for suspended accounts you can delete to stay within license limits.
