Disable a user

If you need to disable a user, you can do it on the user's Profile page. Before you do, note what a disabled user loses:

  • Their account is no longer accessible
  • They lose access to old secure emails
  • They lose access to new secure emails

Need to keep access to their messages instead? Convert them to a free account — see Remove a user from your organization.

Once a user is disabled their emails are no longer accessible — to keep them, leave the license active or request an Export of Message Data.

Admin only. You must be an administrator to disable a user.
