# Suspending Users

If an employee is terminated, or you revoke a customer's access, you might also want to suspend the record. Suspended users will still appear in the user record list.

Here are some cases in which you would want to suspend a user:

* You do not want to delete the record because it contains information that you might need in the future for record-keeping or auditing purposes. Also, the user could return (employee might be rehired or a partner might sign a new contract) and you could make the record active again.
* You want to temporarily remove the user’s access to PeakCommerce and restore it later.

When you suspend a user:

* The user’s profile and role assignments are saved. If the record is later made active again, the user can access PeakCommerce as they did before being suspended.

### To suspend a user:

1. Open the user record page.
   * *User > All Users* 
2. Click **Edit** beside the user record you want to suspend.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the user page.
4. Check the **Suspend** buttton.
