Deactivate Chatter Free Users

As a moderator, you can deactivate Chatter Free users if, for example, they left the company.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Group, Enterprise, Professional, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To deactivate Chatter Free users: Moderate Chatter

When the owner of a Chatter group is deactivated, the deactivated user still owns the group. But a user with the Modify All Data permission can assign a new owner for a public or private group. For unlisted groups, a user with the Manage Unlisted Groups permission can assign a new owner.

  1. To go to the person's profile page, click their name in the People tab or on a feed.
  2. On the profile page, click Deactivate User from the user action menu.

If you want to reactivate a Chatter Free user, use global search to find their profile. You use global search because deactivated users don't appear on the People tab.
