Overview

Deactivate a user if you need to temporarily restrict someone from accessing their Wrike account. When you deactivate a user they'll be logged out of the Workspace (on any browser/device where they're logged in) and they won't be able to log in to their account again until you reactivate them. When you do reactivate someone, they're immediately able to log in to their Workspace again.

Important Information

  • Account owners cannot be deactivated.
  • If someone is a member of multiple Wrike accounts they can't be deactivated.

Who Can Deactivate a User

Account owner Any admin + any user (including Collaborators)
Admins - who can create other admins Any admin except those who can create other admins + any user (including Collaborators)
