# Manage Users
Your Verkada Command software license includes unlimited users. Use this article to learn more about how to manage users in your Command organizational account.

## Invite a user to your organization
With an Org Admin account, you can invite users to your organization’s Command account and control their access. Once invited, your users receive an automatic email inviting them to create their account and set a password.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**In the left navigation, select Users & Permissions and click on Users.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**At the top right, select Add User.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Enter the user’s first name, last name, and email address.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Optional. Add the user to a group or assign as Organization Admin.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select Assign Roles to grant user permissions.**
**Note:** Once roles are assigned, you only see the sites for those the user has permissions. You need to select **Manage Roles** to view/edit for the sites the user does not have current permissions.\
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**(Optional) Set an access control role, alarm console keycode, and user groups.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Your users should receive an email inviting them to your organization’s Command account with the role permissions you define.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you or your users don’t receive the invite email as expected, check your spam folder. Some email filters may prevent it from reaching your inbox.
{% endhint %}
### Invited users
Users who have been invited to your organization but have not accepted the invitation will show up under the **Invited** tab. This state gives Org Admins visibility and control over who is active in the organization.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Invited users can still be assigned to groups, permissions, and alerts.
{% endhint %}

## Deactivate a user
You can deactivate these types of users: [Command](#h_7ae35d2759) or System for Cross-Domain Identity Management ([SCIM](#h_6d57c015cb)).
### Deactivate Command users
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**In the left navigation, select Users & Permissions and click on Users.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the user you want to deactivate.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the User Actions dropdown and select Deactivate User.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Click Deactivate to confirm. The status should appear as Deactivated on the Users page.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
Once a user is deactivated, their permissions, group assignments, and so on cannot be changed. If you need to edit a user’s data, they **must** be reactivated.
{% endhint %}
### Deactivate SCIM users
If your users are SCIM-managed, you can deactivate them by performing the appropriate actions in your Identity Provider (IdP). Once synced, the user’s status is switched to **Deactivated**.
{% hint style="danger" %}
You cannot reactivate SCIM-deactivated users via Command. You **must** reactivate them by performing the appropriate actions in your IdP.
{% endhint %}
***
## Reactivate a user
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**In the left navigation, select Users & Permissions and click on Users.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the users email.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the User Actions dropdown and select Reactivate User.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Click Reactivate to confirm.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
You can reactivate *deactivated* and *deleted* users.
{% endhint %}

## Delete a user
Deleting a user in Command removes all access, roles, and group memberships, but the user remains visible in the Deleted tab. Admins can choose to [restore](#h_4b768acc8c) the user later, which recovers their basic profile (name, email, photo) but not their previous roles, site access, or credentials.
If a new user is added with the same email or external ID as a deleted user, Command prompts the Admin to either [restore the existing user](#h_4b768acc8c) or [permanently delete](#h_886dbe6a06) them.
### Delete
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**In the left navigation, select Users & Permissions and click on Users.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the user to delete.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Click the User Actions dropdown menu and select Delete User.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select Delete to confirm.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**(Optional) Bulk remove users: Next to each user’s name you want to remove, check the box and click Remove.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Permanently Remove
Admins can hard delete users, which permanently removes them from the Deleted tab. This fully erases the user’s profile and identifiers from Command. Once hard deleted, the user’s email and external ID become available for reuse.
{% hint style="danger" %}
This action cannot be undone.
{% endhint %}
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**In the left navigation, select Users & Permissions and click on Users.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**At the top, select Deleted > your user.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Click next to the user’s name and select Permanently Remove User.**
a. Type "**REMOVE"** in the text box.\
b. Click **Permanently Remove.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
* SCIM-managed users are permanently deleted when removed in the identity provider. Admins cannot manually re-add these users unless the original profile is fully purged. This prevents identifier conflicts and orphaned records.
* Deleting a user through the public users API performs a soft delete. The user’s data is moved to the Deleted users section.
