When to Deactivate a User in Zendesk Sell

Discover when it's best to deactivate a user in Zendesk Sell. Preserve historical data and keep accounts inactive for potential future reactivation.

When should I deactivate a user in Zendesk Sell?

You should deactivate a user in Zendesk Sell if you anticipate they might return to the company or if you want to preserve their past actions in the account. Deactivation is a temporary measure that allows you to reactivate the user later if needed.

Deactivated users' leads, contacts, deals, and tasks remain under their name until reassigned, and they still appear in reports. Their email conversations are preserved unless they disconnect their email integration before deactivation. This option is ideal for maintaining historical data while keeping the user's account inactive.
