Deactivating Users Temporarily

Temporarily deactivating the users differs from deactivating the users (see "Deactivating Users") in that you manually activate it again whenever you want to provide access to the system.

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

To temporarily deactivate users, specify the Start Lock Date and End Lock Date for which you want the user’s access to the system to be deactivated. 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 permissions and scope to temporarily deactivate users.
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 who you want to temporarily 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 users 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 access is locked from the Current Time. If you do not specify an End Lock Date, the access is locked forever.
