-If you want to change a user's permissions and find out that all their permissions are greyed out and uneditable then it means they are a member of a group. To edit their permissions separately from the group, they must first be removed from the group:
-  * Edit the user, change the **Is a member of** drop down list to ''None'', click **OK** (see below for details).
-  * Open the user again and their permissions will be editable.
-Refer to [[admin:managing_users#using_groups|User groups]] below for more details. If the user is to remain part of the group then you must change the group's permissions (see [[admin:managing_users#editing_a_group|Editing a group]] below) but beware, this will change the permissions for all users who belong to the group, not just the user you're interested in.

-If you want to disable a user, perhaps because the staff member has left the organisation, then they must be made 'inactive':
-  * Edit the user, uncheck the **Active** checkbox, click **OK**.
-If the **Active** checkbox is greyed out, it is because they are a member of a group. You will need to first remove them from the group before you can make them 'inactive':

-  * Edit the user, uncheck the **Active** checkbox, click **OK**.
-Of course, if the whole group of users needs to be made inactive then you can just uncheck the **Active** checkbox for the group.

 If this checkbox is checked, then that user has permission to use the system, and their name will appear in the login window. If this checkbox is unchecked the user will not be allowed to login to the system and their name will not appear in the login window.
