# Deactivating and Reactivating Users and Admins

To deactivate a user account, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Settings** menu from your main dashboard.
2. Within the **Settings** menu, select the **Users** option to view a list of all user accounts.
3. Locate the account you wish to deactivate by scrolling through the list or using the search function.
4. Click on the **Edit** button located next to the user's account information.
5. Find and select the **Deactivate This Account** option in the user's account settings.
6. Confirm the deactivation to complete the process.

Please make sure you have the necessary administrative permissions to perform these actions. Once a user account is deactivated, the user will no longer have access to the system until their account is reactivated.
