# User Account Management

### Deactivating and Reactivating Users

As an admin, you can temporarily disable a user's access to Blockbrain without permanently deleting their account. This is useful in situations such as when an employee leaves the company but you want to preserve their account data.

**How to Deactivate a User**

1. Navigate to the Users section in the admin panel.
2. Locate the user you want to deactivate.
3. In the Active column, toggle the switch off for that user.
4. A confirmation dialog will appear, warning that the user will lose access to the platform after deactivation.
5. Click Deactivate to confirm, or Cancel.

**What Happens When a User is Deactivated**

* The user's Status changes from *Active* to *Inactive*.
* The user will no longer be able to log in to the platform.
* The account and all associated data are preserved and can be restored at any time.

2. Locate the user whose role you want to change.
3. Click the pencil icon on the right side of their row.
4. Select the desired role from the list.
5. Save your changes.

**Available Roles**
