# Offboarding and deactivating

> Removing someone's access is immediate and has no undo. What happens when you offboard a person, and what to do first.

<Note>
  **Quick summary**

  * You offboard someone from their sheet on the **People** tab to block their sign-in to the workspace and the staff portal.
  * Offboarding takes effect immediately and has no undo, so bringing someone back means inviting them again.
  * Add a leaver to the *Offboard* group first, so an Admin can complete their offboarding checklist before you remove their access.
</Note>

## Before you remove them

Adding someone to the *Offboard* group assigns them its offboarding checklist, so work through it before you remove their access. It's an [Administrative checklist](/people/checklists), so an Admin completes it for them and the leaver never sees it on their portal.

## Offboard someone

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open their sheet and click Offboard user">
    On the **People** tab, click the person, then click **Offboard user**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Assuric asks *"Are you absolutely sure?"* Click **Remove**.

    <Frame caption="The confirmation. Remove takes their access away straight away.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  There's no undo. Their sheet then says to *"Create a new invite to re-add them"*, so bringing someone back means inviting them again.
</Warning>

## What happens after

| | Before | After |
| - | - | - |
| **Account status** | Added | Removed |
| **Sign-in** | Works | Blocked for the workspace and the staff portal |
| **Roles & Groups** | Shown against their name | Still shown against their name |

Their record stays, but the **People** tab hides people who've left until you tick *Removed* in the *Account Status* filter.

<Tip>
  **What we recommend**

  Reassign what they own before you offboard them, as roles and document assignments don't move by themselves. **Roles & Groups** on their sheet shows what to hand over.
