# Deactivate a user account in your private re:Post
<a name="deactivate-user"></a>

**Note**  
You can deactivate only the users who already signed in to your private re:Post.

Follow these steps to deactivate a user account in your private re:Post:

1. In your re:Post Private web application, choose your profile, and then choose **Administration**.

1. Choose **Permissions** to view the list of users in your private re:Post.

1. Select the user that you want to deactivate.

   You can use the search bar to search for a user.

1. Choose **Manage permissions**, and then choose **Deactivate account**.

You can still view the deactivated user under the **Set user permissions** section. This user is marked as **DEACTIVATED**.

After you deactivate a user, the user can no longer sign in to your private re:Post. The user isn't included in the subsequent months' billing. After the user is signed out, their private re:Post session might continue for up to 8 hours. If you need to immediately remove the user from your private re:Post, you must use the IAM Identity Center.
