## What happens after blocking a member

After a member is blocked:

-   access to the application and API is restricted
    
-   the user can no longer work with cards, payments, accounts, or company sections;
    
-   active sessions become unavailable after the next request.
    

Blocked users see “Your account has been blocked. Please contact your manager or support.”

Important note:

-   cards and operations are not deleted after blocking;
    
-   blocked members remain visible in the members list with **Blocked** status;
    
-   Owner or Admin users can restore access using **Unblock**.
