# Deactivate user accounts

When a person ceases to work at your store, the best practice is to deactivate their user account instead of deleting it. This helps to maintain important connections between data in the store database.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you rehire the person (for example, you might rehire a student who only works at the store during their school holidays), you do not have to create a new user account for them. You can reactivate their user account by clearing the **Cashier is inactive** setting on their account.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **Setup**.
2. Expand **People & Security**.
3. Click **Users**.
4. On the **General** tab, select **Cashier is inactive**.
5. Click **Save And Close**.
