Getting new sales reps into Pipedrive shouldn’t feel like a chore. Still, many admins stall at the first hurdle, activating users and assigning the right seats, permissions, and visibility.

This guide breaks down three quick activation routes you can pull off without calling support, so you can spin up a productive team, keep data secure, and stay on top of license costs.

## Use Pipedrive's UI

Use the Pipedrive dashboard to reactivate a user so they can sign in again.

### Step 1: Open the Users list

- Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
- Choose “Company settings.”
- Select “Manage users.” The Users & visibility page opens.

### Step 2: Show inactive users

Click the “Inactive” tab above the table to see every deactivated user.

### Step 3: Locate the right person

Search or scroll until you find the name, then hover over the row to show the action menu (three dots).

### Step 4: Activate the user

- Click the three dots.
- Pick “Activate user.”
- Confirm in the pop-up.

Pipedrive marks the account Active right away, and the user can log in immediately. Reactivating adds a paid seat to your plan, and only admins can do it.

## Use Torii

Instead of toggling permissions in Pipedrive itself, you can use Torii [https://www.toriihq.com/], a SaaS management platform, to activate a user in Pipedrive. SMPs provide a single dashboard for all your cloud apps, letting you automate onboarding and off-boarding, view subscription data, and more through code-free workflows.

When Torii handles the process, it kicks in automatically as soon as a preset condition is met and skips every manual click in Pipedrive. Triggers often include a new hire, an employee departure, or an upcoming contract renewal. If this task comes up often, the automation removes a lot of repetitive work.

To enable a user in Pipedrive directly from Torii, do the following:

### 1. Sign up for Torii

Contact Torii Sales [https://www.toriihq.com/info/request-a-demo] to request a complimentary two-week proof-of-concept account.

### 2. Connect your Pipedrive account to Torii

After Torii spins up your environment, connect your existing Pipedrive subscription. Follow the steps in the official guide: Pipedrive integration instructions [https://support.toriihq.com/hc/en-us/articles/14829025693595].

### 3. Create a Torii workflow for Pipedrive

Inside Torii, open the Workflows tab, choose the event that should act as your trigger, and add an action to activate the user in Pipedrive. Once you save the workflow, every trigger will switch the user on in Pipedrive automatically.

## Use Pipedrive's API

You’ll flip a user’s activeflag from 0 to 1 with two quick calls.

### 1. Grab the user’s ID

- Send a GET request to /users.
- Include your API token either as apitoken in the query string or as Authorization: Bearer YOURTOKEN in the header.
- Look through the response, find the right person and jot down their id.

### 2. Update activeflag to 1

- Replace {id} with the number you just noted.
- Set the body to { "activeflag": 1 }.
- Use the same auth method you picked in step 1.

### 3. Confirm the switch

- Send a quick GET to /users/{id}.
- Make sure the response says "activeflag": 1.

If the flag shows 1, the user is active again and can log in.
