How do I suspend and reactivate users in an account?

You can suspend and reactivate a user's profile. Suspending a user allows you to remove the user's login access to authorized systems. Reactivating a user allows the user to log into Canvas and regain access to previously authorized API integrations.

Notes:

  • User suspension and reactivation is also supported in the SIS Export report.
  • Users with multiple pseudonyms will continue to receive notifications unless all pseudonyms are suspended.
