## 5.1 Deactivating and reactivating a group member

More Groups adds a **Deactivated users** panel to every Group's Users tab. Deactivating a member removes them from the active member list without deleting their membership details — their manager, dynamic and delegatee flags are kept and restored automatically when they are reactivated.

### 5.1.1 Open the group and its Users tab

Open the **Support Team** group and switch to its **Users** tab. The active members are listed at the top; the **Deactivated users** panel appears underneath, showing anyone already deactivated for this group.

### 5.1.2 Deactivate a member

Next to an active member's row, click the deactivate button. The member disappears from the active list and appears in the **Deactivated users** panel below, with their Manager/Dynamic/Delegatee flags carried over.

> **Note:** Re-adding the same user through GLPI's native "Add user to group" form clears their stale deactivated record automatically.

### 5.1.3 Reactivate the member

In the **Deactivated users** panel, click the activate button on the member's row. They disappear from the panel and reappear in the active members list with the same flags they had before.
