# Deactivating a Member

### Overview

In the event you need to deactivate a member from your organization, you can easily do so via the members section. Once a member is deactivated, you can reissue the seat to a new member by clicking 'Invite People.' If you decide to not add any additional members, you will be able to remove the unused seat(s) and the following billing cycle will cost less.

### From the Members Section

Navigate to the member that you would like to deactivate and click the (•••) or 'more' button. Click 'Deactivate Member.' A dialog will appear asking you to confirm by clicking 'Deactivate.' This member will now appear (only to owners) as deactivated. 

To reactivate a member, follow the above steps but click 'Reactivate Member.'

**Note:** If this member is assigned to any parent companies, these will continue to remain in their respective workspaces but will now appear as unassigned from within the 'Assigned to' filter. To reassign the parent company reference [Assign Me to Shipper](/teams-and-agencies/assign-me-to-shipper.md).
