* The user will no longer appear when [retrieving End Users](/connect/rest-api/end-users/get-end-user.md).

{% 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.
