Forbid and allow access to the system

You can manually forbid a user to access the system by locking their account, for example, when their employment contract is over. Also, access can be restricted automatically if the user has entered an invalid password several times in a row. This option is enabled on the Security Settings page.

Let's take a closer look at how access is restricted.

Lock a user manually

To limit a person's access to corporate information and documents, lock their account. To do this, select the employee you want to lock and click the Lock button in their profile.

Once this is done, the employee's status will change to Locked and they will not be able to sign in to the system.

Please note that you can only lock active users.

Locked users are not displayed in the user list.

Unlock a user

Open their profile and click Unlock.

The user will reappear in the list of active users and will be able to log in to the system using his or her credentials.

 

Automatic lockout

If you have set up login requirements on the Security Settings page, a user may get locked out automatically after entering an invalid password several times in a row. In this case, their status will remain Active, however, the Account is locked label will appear on the right panel of the user's page, in the Password policy section.

To restore access, go to the employee's profile and click on the Account is locked label .

After you confirm the action, the user will be able to log in again.

Recover password

If a user forgets the password or cannot log in to the system, use password recovery.

Open the user's profile and click Recover password.

A password recovery link will be sent to the specified email address.

By clicking on the link, the user will be able to enter a new password and save it.
