# Banning a User

You have the option to ban a user. Once banned, the user will be unable to use your system.

To start with, click the "Ban" button on the user details page.

You'll also be given the option to unban/authorize a user anytime you decide, which will be available in place of the ban button.

The below example shows the User Details page when banned.&#x20;

**User Memberships for a Banned User**

When a user gets banned from the system, the registered memberships will auto cancel.&#x20;
