User Activation Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines when using account activation features:

• When you create a number of user accounts at once, you can use Enable Date to specify a future date on which to activate all or selected accounts. This lets you stage your roll-out of access rights to coordinate with any training you plan to provide your new users.
• When you create temporary accounts for external auditors, you can use the Enable Date and Disable Date settings to specify a given time interval.
• When you encounter suspicious behavior by any user, you can immediately mark the corresponding account as suspended and, thereby, prevent that user from successfully logging in to any CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
• When a user leaves the company, you can delete the entire user record, mark it suspended, or enter an expiration date to put it into disabled status.
