Delete or suspend users

If you want to prevent access by a user, you can suspend or delete them. You need to be a Kinde Owner or Admin to do this.

Suspending a user vs suspending an organization

Suspending a user prevents that specific user from signing in to any organization.

Suspending an organization prevents all users from signing in to that specific organization, but does not affect their access to other organizations.

For details on suspending an organization, see Add and manage organizations.
