# Can I revoke portal access for an employee’s email address?

Yes. When an employee’s email address becomes outdated or invalidated for some reason, it will have to be removed from Zoho accounts. Also, if you enabled self-service portal access for that email address, you’ll have to revoke it. Before you can revoke access, though, you’ll need to add a secondary email address. Here’s how:

*   Go to the employee’s profile at **accounts.zoho.com**.
*   Under the **Profile** section, click **Email Address**.
*   Add a secondary email address under **My Email Address**.
*   Click the **Crown** icon next to the address to mark it as the **Primary Address**.

Now, you can revoke the portal access for the outdated email address:

*   Navigate to the **Employees** module in the Zoho Payroll app.
*   Go to the employee’s profile for whom you want to revoke portal access.
*   On the **Overview** page, you’ll find a banner where you’ll find the option to revoke access.

*   You’ll then be taken to the profile edit page. Here, click **Revoke Access**.

*   Click **Save**.
