# Unsuspend a user

`DELETE /users/{username}/suspended`

If your GitHub instance uses [LDAP Sync with Active Directory LDAP servers](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-server@3.7/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-ldap-for-enterprise-iam/using-ldap), this API is disabled and will return a `403` response. Active Directory LDAP-authenticated users cannot be unsuspended using the API.

## Path parameters

- `username` string, required

## Request body

- object, nullable
  - `reason` string — The reason the user is being unsuspended. This message will be logged in the [audit log](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-server@3.7/admin/monitoring-activity-in-your-enterprise/reviewing-audit-logs-for-your-enterprise/about-the-audit-log-for-your-enterprise). If you don't provide a `reason`, it will default to "Unsuspended via API by _SITE\_ADMINISTRATOR_", where _SITE\_ADMINISTRATOR_ is the person who performed the action.

## Response `204`
