User lockout

If a user enters an incorrect password when attempting to log on, they have a limited number of further attempts before they are locked out for a period of time. You set up the number of further attempts and the lockout time period on the main setup screen for the user.

Steps

  1. On the Contacts screen, click Edit.
  2. From the User lockout drop-down list, select a lockout time period. The options are 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or Forever.
    If you select Forever, an administrator with Manage Users permissions must unlock the user account before the user can log on again.
  3. Select the number of permitted failed attempts from the drop-down list. This can be between 3 and 10.
  4. Click Update.
