# Enable or Disable a User

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/authentication/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

Catalyst allows you to [disable or enable a user](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/users/implementation/#enable-or-disable-a-user) at any time. A disabled user will be signed up to your application but will not be able to access your application.

You can enable or disable an end-user using the `updateUserStatus(userId, USER_STATUS)` method.

The user is referred by their unique [User ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/users/introduction/). You can find the User IDs of all users by navigating to the *Users* > [*User Management*](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/introduction/) section of the [Authentication](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/introduction/) component.

The `userManagement` reference used in the code snippet below is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/authentication/get-component-instance/).

### To Enable a User

```javascript
userManagement.updateUserStatus('195000000042777', USER_STATUS.ENABLE)
```

### To Disable a User

```javascript
userManagement.updateUserStatus('195000000042777', USER_STATUS.DISABLE)
```
