### 15.2.5. Cancelling a Process

You can cancel an active process provided that you are the creator of the process or a member of the `admin` group. If any assignee has active tasks on their My Tasks page, those tasks will be removed when the process is cancelled, and the process will not continue any further.

When you cancel a process, the process object remains in its source folder, enabling you to retain and view process properties and details about tasks.

To cancel a process:

1. Select the process in Processes/Process Monitor.

2. Click the cancel button on the toolbar.

   The Cancel Process dialog box appears:

3. Click OK to confirm that you want to cancel the process. The Status of the process changes from `Active` to `Cancelled`, and all active tasks related to the process are cancelled.

Note that if you open the cancelled process, you will not be able to perform any tasks.
