# Activate or Deactivate a User

> Flip a user on or off with a single call. No request body is needed.

- If the user is currently **on**, this call turns them **off**. Their
  record is kept for your history, but they can no longer be used for
  anything new.
- If the user is currently **off**, this call turns them back **on** so
  they can be used again straight away.

The response shows the new state in `is_active`.

        Standard response wrapper for single-object responses and errors.

        Generic over the payload type. A route that declares
        ``CommonResponse[SomeModel]`` gets the real ``data`` schema rendered in
        OpenAPI/Swagger; a bare ``CommonResponse`` leaves ``data`` untyped.
