# User Availability Status

There are certain scenarios where you don't want users to receive assignments from a particular Queue. Whether it's vacation or an extended time away from the office, you can manage that easily via the Gradient Works Queue User Page.

To get to the Gradient Works Queue Users Page, go to the Queues tab and select a queue. Click on the name of the user you'd like to update under the "Queue Users" section. If you don't see the user you want to edit, click "View All".

{% hint style="warning" %}
These instructions only change the user's status for a single queue. If a user belongs to multiple queues, you can update all their queue memberships via [Users](/kb/routing/users.md).
{% endhint %}

To make the user unavailable, do the following:

1. Click Edit in the top right corner
2. Change Status to "Unavailable"
3. Set "Unavailable Until"
   * Leave this blank to skip the user until you manually change their status back to "Available"
   * Specify the date and time they'll be returning to the office. Gradient Works will automatically skip them until that time at which point they'll be automatically eligible for new assignments.
4. Click Save

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gradient.works/kb/routing/queues/user-availability-status.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
