Deactivates a user account. &#x20;

***

Deactivating the account will remove any connection between you and the user's account.&#x20;

* You will no longer be able to [generate User Auth Tokens](https://docs.sfox.com/connect/rest-api/end-users/create-user-auth-token) for this user.
* The user will no longer appear when [retrieving End Users](https://docs.sfox.com/connect/rest-api/end-users/get-end-user).

{% hint style="info" %}
Requests to deactivate a user will fail unless the user's account balances are zero. Please be sure to have the user withdraw balances from their account prior to attempting deactivation.
