# Disabling a user's service

Disable a user's service if you want to block the user's access to a service for an unspecified length of time, such as due to security issues or user absence.

## About this task

You can subsequently re-enable the user's access if you choose.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin portal, go to **Users → Users by Service**.

2. From the list of services, click the desired service.

3. For the selected user, click the **Expand** icon to expand the user activity panel for the service.

4. Click **Disable** to disable the user's access to the service.

   You can choose to re-enable the user's service access from this panel later.
