# Reactivates a deactivated account.

`POST /api/v1/users/{id}/reactivate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.flexonthejob.com`
- URL: `https://app.flexonthejob.com/api/v1/users/{id}/reactivate`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Requires `ManageUsers` and an `Idempotency-Key`; no body. Same rules as
`PATCH { "isActive": true }`, including the grant limit: every permission the account holds
must be held by the API key and its creator. Already active → 200 unchanged. Example:
`POST /api/v1/users/8f0c3c1e-2b6d-4c55-9a51-0d3f3c1b7e21/reactivate`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

The account after the change.

- UserDetailDto: An account of the calling organization, as returned by the user-administration endpoints (`GET /api/v1/users/{id}`, `POST /api/v1/users`, `PATCH /api/v1/users/{id}`). Never carries a password, hash or security stamp.
  - `id` string: User id (string GUID). Example: `"8f0c3c1e-2b6d-4c55-9a51-0d3f3c1b7e21"`.
  - `email` string, nullable: Login e-mail address. Example: `"sam@example.com"`.
  - `firstName` string, nullable: First name. Example: `"Sam"`.
  - `lastName` string, nullable: Last name. Example: `"Carter"`.
  - `displayName` string: Display name, e.g. `"Sam Carter"`; falls back to the e-mail address when no name is recorded.
  - `isActive` boolean: False when the account is deactivated (it cannot sign in and holds no seat).
  - `role` string, nullable: Highest standard role the account holds — `OrganizationAdmin`, `Manager` or `User` (`SystemAdmin` for platform staff); null when it holds only custom roles.
  - `customRoleIds` integer[]: Ids of the custom roles the account holds (see `/api/v1/roles`). Empty when none.
  - `permissions` string[]: Effective permissions from all of the account's roles, in catalog order. Example: `["ViewInventory", "ViewJobs"]`.
