Activate and suspend users in an organization

Activate users

When you activate a suspended user, they can access Workiva, and their memberships to your organization and to their previous workspaces are restored.

Note: You can't activate suspended users who are part of more than one organization.

To activate users:

1. In Organization Admin, select the People tab.
2. Use the checkboxes to select the suspended user or users you want to activate.
3. In the toolbar, click Add and select Activate users.
   
4. Click Activate to confirm.

Suspend users

When you suspend a user, they are suspended from your organization and from the workspaces where they're a member. They won't be able to access Workiva while suspended. You can suspend one or multiple users at a time.

Note: You can't suspend users who are part of more than one organization. A suspension won't change or remove any permissions granted to the account.

To suspend users:

1. In Organization Admin, select the People tab.
2. Use the checkboxes to select the user or users you want to suspend.
3. In the toolbar, click Remove and select Suspend users.
   
4. Click Suspend to confirm that you understand that the selected users won't be able to access Workiva once suspended.

To fully remove a user from your organization, see Remove organization users.
