# post\_\_organization\_users\_{userId}\_activate

`POST /organization/users/{userId}/activate`

*Activate Organization User*

Reactivate a previously deleted user in the authenticated user's organization. This endpoint requires user management permissions (WORKSPACES role or higher) and both users must be in the same organization. The user's `deletedAt` timestamp will be cleared, making them active again.

#### Security

* **BearerAuth**: Bearer token authentication required
* **Permissions**: Requires WORKSPACES role or higher to access user management functions
* **Organization Access**: Both users must be in the same organization

#### Notes

* This endpoint can only activate users who have been previously deleted (soft delete)
* The `deletedAt` field will be set to `null` when the user is reactivated
* Reactivated users will immediately regain access to the system
* Users who are already active cannot be activated again
* This is the reverse operation of the DELETE endpoint, which performs soft deletion
