## Deactivate an organization membership

Deactivates an `active` organization membership. Emits an [organization_membership.updated](/events/organization-membership) event upon successful deactivation.

- Deactivating an `inactive` membership is a no-op and does not emit an event.
- Deactivating a `pending` membership returns an error. This membership should be [deleted](/reference/authkit/organization-membership/delete) instead.

See the [membership management documentation](/authkit/users-organizations/organizations/membership-management) for additional details.
