# Account

Change the email flow users follow to close (deactivate) their account.

**Where:** Membership → Settings → **Account** · `/projects/<project>/membership/settings#account`

## Before you start

* The Email module is on, with a deactivation template (turning Email on adds *User deactivation*).
* You need the `membership:manage` permission.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → Account**. The block **Deactivation via Email** holds the flow a user follows to close their account.

2. Turn on **Enabled**, then press **Change** next to each row and **Submit**:

   | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
   | User deactivation email template           | The email that asks the user to confirm. | `User deactivation`                      |
   | Deactivation token expiration (in minutes) | How long the confirmation link works.    | `1440`                                   |
   | Deactivation callback URL                  | Where the user lands after confirming.   | `https://app.example.com/account-closed` |

## Result

With the flow on, a deactivation request sends the template; the user confirms through its link before it expires.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Deactivation callback URL** is not kept today: after a reload it shows `-`.
{% endhint %}

## Change or remove it later

* Turn **Enabled** off to stop the flow; the values stay.

## Do it from code

```ts
const { result } = await norbix.hub.membership.getAuthorizationSettings();
console.log(result.emailPreferences.deactivationViaEmail); // { sendEmail: true, template: { id: 'tmpl_…' } }
```

```sh
norbix hub membership authorization settings get
```
