Please try below steps:

* Login into your bitbucket page
* Click on you avatar which is on your bottom left
* Click on the respective workspace, your repositories are attached to
* Then click on members, this will display all the members attached to the specific workspace.
* Click manage users
* click on the 'x' button display attached to each member to remove them.

I believe those steps should work. Please check and update on this post.

I understand from your query, you would like to disable users in Bitbucket. Simply, **revoke the global permissions** for those users. By doing so, the users will exist but can't access Bitbucket server.

Alternatively, one of the Atlassian team members [Caterina Curti](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/551009) suggested these steps:

Let's start by understanding which ++User directories++ are in place. Are all users internal or are you also using [external user directories](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/external-user-directories-776640394.html)?

After this we want to understand if the users are getting the "licensed" user permission because they are added to the [Global Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/global-permissions-776640369.html) directly as ++users++ or via a ++group++ they belong to.

If the users are from an external directory and they are licensed users because of a group that they belong to in the external directory, the change will need to be done in the external directory and synchronized in Bitbucket Server.

**Checking for user details**

For each user, you can check the source directory (internal or external) by accessing the users' list:

```
<Bitbucket URL>/admin/users
```

By browsing to each user, you can then see if the user is a "BITBUCKET USER" or [UNLICENSED](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-discussions/What-does-UNLICENSED-user-mean-in-Bitbucket-Server/td-p/788968). Simply click on the user name from the user list or browse to the user directly:

```
<Bitbucket URL>/admin/users/view?name=<username>
```

**Overview of licensed users**

We have an article about [How do I find which users count against my Bitbucket Server license?](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/how-do-i-find-which-users-count-against-my-bitbucket-server-license-779171685.html). This contains a handy tool to retrieve the full list of licensed users.

Stay safe and stay healthy.
