Deactivating Administrators Temporarily

Temporarily deactivating the administrator differs from deactivating the administrator (see "Deactivating Administrators"). When you temporarily deactivate the administrator, the administrator is automatically activated when the end of the lock period is reached. But when you deactivate an administrator, you must manually activate them again whenever you want to provide access to them.

To temporarily deactivate an administrator, you must specify the Start Lock Date and End Lock Date for the period that you want the administrator to be locked. When the End Lock Date is reached, the administrator is automatically activated.

To temporarily deactivate an administrator:

1. Ensure that you are logged in with the required privileges to deactivate the administrator.
2. Activate the Users and Administrators tab.
3. Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Search Users and Administrators link to display the Search Users and Administrators page.
4. Enter the partial or complete information of the administrator whose account 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).

   The Search Results page appears, with all the matches for the specified criteria.

5. Select one or more administrators you want to deactivate temporarily.
6. Click Deactivate Temporarily.

   The Deactivate User Temporarily dialog box 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 Starting From fields, the account is locked from the current time. If you do not specify an end lock Date, the account is locked forever.
