# How to clear a staff member's permissions

**Who can do this:** Super Admin, Admin, or Staff with the User Management permission

Remove every permission from a staff member in one action, rather than unticking each one.

## Steps
**Step 1:** Go to **Users > Staff**.

**Step 2:** Click the **⋮** menu at the end of the person’s row.

**Step 3:** Choose **Clear all permissions**.

The person keeps the Staff role but can no longer do anything on the platform.

**Note:** This removes access, not the account. To stop someone signing in altogether, see [How to block or unblock a user](/product/users-roles-and-teams/how-to-block-or-unblock-a-user/).

**Tip:** Useful when someone changes jobs internally. Clear everything, then grant the set their new role needs, rather than trying to work out which of their old permissions still apply.
