To do this: + +1. Navigate to **Admin Area > Overview > Users**. +1. Select a user. +1. Under the **Account** tab, click **Deactivate user**. + +Please note that for the deactivation option to be visible to an admin, the user: + +- Must be currently active. +- Should not have any activity in the last 180 days. + +Users can also be deactivated using the [GitLab API](../../api/users.html#deactivate-user). + +NOTE: **Note:** +A deactivated user does not consume a [seat](../../subscriptions/index.md#managing-subscriptions). + +## Activating a user + +> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/63921) in GitLab 12.4. + +A deactivated user can be activated from the Admin Area. + +To do this: + +1.
