Last updated on 03 Mar, 2026

Make sure to fill in the column for Deactivation Date with the format, [YYYY-MM-DD], (e.g. 2026-08-25)

5. You may either upload the file in CSV format or you can copy all the data and paste it into the space provided. Double-check the information you pasted or uploaded to see if the deactivation date reflects correctly.

6. Click on "Upload Users" to process the data.

7. Once the data has been processed, the users' deactivation dates will be updated. You can check the User List, specifically the Deactivation Date column, to view when the user account is scheduled to be deactivated.

This will also appear in the User Profile page and can be edited anytime in the User Details page.

Image

Deactivated accounts will be placed in the Inactive Users group. Users who have been deactivated will still appear in the user list. 

Deactivated users will see this message upon logging in to the portal.

Users can be reactivated at any time. To reactivate a user: https://support.castlms.com/help/reactivating-a-user
