# Manage users through API

## If you manage your users using our API here is what you need to know.

---

### Unassigned API users

**Users** will be listed in the **Unassigned section** of **User Administration** when we cannot assign them to a matching Unit or Role.

**Note!** Additional Unit memberships besides the one created by an integration need to be managed in Ziik.

### Deactivated API users

If you delete Users using our API we will Soft Delete your users for 90 days before deleting them permanently. Soft deleted users are listed in **User Administration -\> Unassigned**

This will allow you to reactivate users again if needed within the 90 days where users are deactivated or care for transfer of users content to other users before the permanent deletion takes effect.
