# metalcloud-cli user archive

Archive a user account to mark it as inactive

## Synopsis

Archive a user account to mark it as inactive and prevent future logins.

Archiving a user preserves their data but prevents them from logging in or accessing
the system. This is a reversible action - archived users can be unarchived later.

Arguments:
  user_id                 The numeric ID of the user to archive

Examples:
  metalcloud-cli user archive 12345
  metalcloud-cli user remove 12345

```
metalcloud-cli user archive user_id [flags]
```

### Options
