## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sigmacomputing.com`
- URL: `https://api.sigmacomputing.com/v2/members/{memberId}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Deactivate a specific user by memberId. Users cannot be fully deleted, only deactivated. The deactivated user's documents are reassigned to the user associated with the API client credentials. For more information, see [Deactivate users](/docs/deactivate-users).

### Usage notes
- Retrieve the **memberId** by calling the [/v2/members](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-members) endpoint.
- The user is directly marked **archived** by this API. See [Deactivate users](/docs/deactivate-users) for more details on deactivation.

### Usage scenarios
- **User offboarding**: Manage your user base by efficiently offboarding users after they leave your organization.

### Best practices
- **Confirm memberId**: Before deactivating a user, make sure the memberId is correct.
- Do **not** use this for members provisioned through SCIM.
