Limiting Use of an Application During Maintenance

Administrators can withdraw and grant access to an application during maintenance. If users are logged on to the application and administrators withdraw their access, users are forced off the system.

To limit use of an application:

1. Select Administration, then Application, and then Settings.
2. Select Advanced Settings, and then select System Settings.
3. For Application Maintenance Mode, select an option for Enable Use of the Application for:

   • All users: All users who have access to the application can log on or continue working with the application.

   • Administrators: Only administrators can log on. Other users are forced off and prevented from logging on until the option is reset to All Users.

   • Owner: Only the application owner can log on. All other users are prevented from logging on. If they are currently logged on, they are forced off the system until the option is reset to All Users or Administrators. Only the application owner can restrict other administrators from using the application.

4. If your selection is more restrictive than the current setting, click OK.
5. Click Save.
