System Administrator Scenarios › How to Manage Authentication › Manage User Login Status

Manage User Login Status

Use the resource Status property to specify whether a user can log in and can have access to the product. When you activate users, project or resource managers can add them as resources to projects.

When you deactivate users, they can no longer log in. Additionally, project or resources managers cannot add them as resources to a project. The product retains all information about the inactive users and you can reactivate the users later.

Users can also have the status of Lock. For example, if a user makes too many invalid login attempts, the status changes to lock. You can change the login status back to active.

You can change access for one or more users at a time.

Note: If LDAP is running, you can change the status of only one user at a time. For more information about authentication and LDAP, see the Installation Guide or contact your LDAP administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Organization and Access, click Resources.
2. Select one or more resources and click one of the following buttons:
   • Activate: activates one or more users so that they can be added to projects.
   • Deactivate: deactivates one or more users, prevents them from logging in, and prevents project or managers from adding them as resources to projects.
   • Lock: locks one or more users and prevents them from logging in.
3. Save your changes.
