# Can I revoke a license assigned to a user?

Remove a user's access to an application and free up their license for someone else.

Yes. The Owner or an Administrator can revoke a user's license at any time from their profile in **Manage users**. The user will lose access to the relevant application, but the resources they created in it will remain visible in the account. The freed-up license can be assigned to someone else right away.

## Prerequisites

-   Be the account owner or an administrator.
    

## Steps

1.  In the top-right corner of the screen, click your avatar.
    
2.  In the left-hand menu, click **Manage users**.
    
3.  On the user's card, click **Manage**.
    
4.  Open the **Licences** tab.
    
5.  Uncheck the row for the application you want to remove from the user.
    
6.  Click **Apply my selection**.
    

## Expected result

The user no longer has access to the application. In **Product license management**, the counter on the application's card (for example, “20/26 licenses used”) decreases by one license.
