# Activating and deactivating users
GitLab administrators can deactivate and activate users.
## Deactivating a user
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22257) in GitLab 12.4.

In order to temporarily prevent access by a GitLab user that has no recent activity, administrators
can choose to deactivate the user.
Deactivating a user is functionally identical to [blocking a user](blocking_unblocking_users.md),
with the following differences:
- It does not prohibit the user from logging back in via the UI.
- Once a deactivated user logs back into the GitLab UI, their account is set to active.
A deactivated user:
- Cannot access Git repositories or the API.
- Will not receive any notifications from GitLab.
- Will not be able to use [slash commands](../../integration/slash_commands.md).
Personal projects, and group and user history of the deactivated user will be left intact.
A user can be deactivated from the Admin Area. 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.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- Must not have any signins or activity in the last 180 days.

Users can also be deactivated using the [GitLab API](../../api/users.md#deactivate-user).

NOTE: **Note:**

A deactivated user does not consume a [seat](../../subscriptions/index.md#choosing-the-number-of-users).
