# 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 1. Sign in with an **administrator** account. 2. Navigate to **Admin › Users**. 3. Locate the user you want to modify.

6. Confirm the action by clicking **OK** in the dialog. *** ### What Happens Next? | Action | Result | Can Be Reversed? | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | **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 **Admin › Users** for suspended accounts you can delete to stay within license limits. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
