How to Activate and Deactivate Bynder Users – Bynder Support

Users can have either an Active or Inactive user status. When you deactivate a user account, the account will remain available in the portal, but the user will no longer be able to login. If the user needs access again, you can reactivate the account.

Deactivating users frees the seats that you can later grant to new users who request access to the system. The exact number of seats per user profile that you have at your disposal is specified in your contract.

Note

You can have a notification set up that displays when you have reached the maximum number of seats per user profile. Contact your Customer Success Manager about implementing it.
