Deactivating or reactivating a Control Center user

After six months of inactivity, Control Center automatically deactivates a user's account. (After an additional six months of inactivity, Control Center deletes the user account.) As a Control Center system administrator, you can reactivate users so they're able to sign in again. You can also manually deactivate users temporarily if they don't need Control Center access and you can delete them entirely.

If it's been a while since the user last signed in, they may not remember their password. They can either retrieve their own password or you can reset their password for them.

To deactivate or reactivate a Control Center user:

  1. Click Admin, then click Users.

    Control Center lists the users for your organization. Users with additional permissions or roles have icons next to their username: system administrators (), security users (), users with two-factor authentication ().

  1. When you find the user, click the row for the user.

    Control Center shows profile information for the user    .
