.. mc:: mc admin user disable


Syntax
------

.. start-mc-admin-user-disable-desc

The :mc:`mc admin user disable` command disables a :ref:`MinIO user <minio-internal-idp>` on the target MinIO deployment.

.. end-mc-admin-user-disable-desc

Clients cannot use the user credentials to authenticate to the MinIO deployment.
Disabling a user does *not* remove that user from the deployment.
Use :mc-cmd:`mc admin user enable` to enable a disabled user on a MinIO deployment.

To manage external Identity Provider users, see :mc:`OIDC <mc idp openid>` or :mc:`AD/LDAP <mc idp ldap>`.
