# De-activating Agents

How to make Agents inactive in Agentcis?

Agents may need to be inactivated if they are no longer working with your organization, have completed their contractual period, or are temporarily unavailable to take on new clients. Inactivating an agent keeps their historical records intact while preventing them from being used in active workflows.  

Before inactivating an agent, ensure you have the required permissions:
