You can deactivate a user, instead of deleting the user, if you want to prevent the user from accessing services due to retirement, leave of absence, or other reasons.

Department administrators can deactivate the following users:

• Members of the department for which they have administrative privileges
• Users who do not belong to any department

The following conditions are applied to inactive users:

• Inactive users are not counted towards the number of allowed users of a service.
  To reduce the subscription charge of kintone.com, you need to reduce the number of licensed users.
• Inactive users cannot login to any service.

Only inactivating or deleting users will not affect the number of licensed users.
Billing for kintone.com is based on the number of licensed users.

Regardless of the users' statuses, their profiles will be displayed in Kintone.
