# Report abuse **(FREE)**

You can report abuse from other GitLab users to GitLab administrators.

A GitLab administrator [can then choose](admin_area/review_abuse_reports.md) to:
|
|
|
|
- Remove the user, which deletes them from the instance.
|
|
- Block the user, which denies them access to the instance.
|
|
- Or remove the report, which retains the user's access to the instance.
|
