Deactivate users

Learn how to deactivate users via the web app.

What does it mean to deactivate users?

Deactivating a user temporarily revokes their SafetyCulture access and frees up a seat, while preserving all their data. This is ideal for users who need temporary access, like seasonal workers, or for those who permanently leave the organization, as it ensures their data remains intact. By deactivating users, you ensure your organization's data remains consistent and accurate, providing reliable insights in Analytics.

If you want to remove a user from your organization completely, please contact our customer support team for assistance.

If you want to deactivate your entire organization rather than only individual users, learn more about canceling your plan.
