Deactivating Administrators Temporarily

Temporarily deactivating the administrator differs from deactivating the administrator (see Deactivating Administrators) in that you manually activate it again whenever you want to provide access to the administrators.

In temporary deactivation, the administrator is automatically activated when the end of the lock period is reached.

To temporarily deactivate an administrator, specify the Start Lock Date and End Lock Date for which you want the administrator’s access to be locked. When the End Lock Date is reached, the administrator access is automatically activated.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Users and Administrators tab.
2. Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Search Users and Administrators link to display the Search Users and Administrators page.
3. Enter the partial or complete information of the administrator who you want to deactivate and click Search.

   You can also click the Advanced Search link to search for Current Users based on their status (active or inactive) or their roles (GA, OA, or UA).

4. The Search Results page appears, with all the matches for the specified criteria.
5. Select one or more administrators who you want to deactivate temporarily.
6. Click Deactivate Temporarily. The Deactivate User Temporarily dialog appears.
7. In the Starting From section, select the start lock Date and the Time.
8. In the To section, select the end lock Date and the Time.
9. Click Save to save your changes.

   Note: If you do not specify any value for the Start Lock Date, the administrator’s access is locked from the current time. If you do not specify an End Lock Date, the administrator’s access is locked forever.
