Lock/Unlock a User Account

CareRight has three mechanisms to lock or disable a user account.

The first: CareRight supports a maximum of 20 failed password attempts. If this is exceeded, an account is temporarily locked for a 20 minute period.

The second: via Admin > Users and Groups > Staff Members, when an account is Disabled - this will prevent login and give the user a 'locked' message. To grant access, uncheck the control.

The third: via Admin > Users and Groups > User, when an account has no groups allowing access. To grant access, simply add the relevant group(s).
