Unlocking a User

On Private Cloud Appliance, you can unlock a user that is in the Inactive state. A user might be in the Inactive state after too many incorrect login attempts.

    1. In the Compute Web UI navigation menu, select Identity, then select Users.

    2. For the user account that you want to unlock, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.) and select the Unblock option.

      The user transitions from the Inactive state to the Active state.

  • Use the oci iam user update-user-state command to modify the description, email address, or tags of the specified user.

    oci iam user update-user-state --user-id user_OCID --blocked false

    For a complete list of CLI commands, flags, and options, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Use the UpdateUserState operation to unlock a user that is in the Inactive state. Set the blocked attribute to false.
