Deactivating Users Temporarily

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

To temporarily deactivate a user, you specify the Start Lock Date and End Lock Date for which the user is locked. When the End Lock Date is reached, the user is automatically activated.

To temporarily deactivate a user:

1. Ensure that you are logged in with the required privileges and scope to deactivate the user.
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 user 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).

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

5. Select one or more users to deactivate temporarily.
6. Click Deactivate Temporarily.
7. The Deactivate User Temporarily page appears.
8. In the Starting From section, select the start lock Date and Time.
9. In the To section, select the end lock Date and Time.
10. Click Save to save your changes.

    Note: If you do not specify any value for the Starting From fields, the user is locked from the current time. If you do not specify an end lock Date, the user is locked forever.
