How do I suspend or 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.
- Only root account admins can view and manage suspensions.
- Suspending a student does not affect the student's Canvas enrollment status.
