Disable User Accounts

Occasionally, you might need to temporarily or permanently disable a login account. Disabling or locking a user account means that an invalid password, *LK*, is assigned to the user account, preventing future logins.

The easiest way to disable a user account is to use the Users Tool to lock the password for an account. You can also enter an expiration date in the account availability section of the User Properties screen to set how long the user account is disabled.

Other ways to disable a user account is to set up password aging or to change the user's password.
