Configure User Lockout Settings

You can specify how many attempts each user can make to log in to Dimension before that user account is locked, how long a user account remains locked, and after how many unsuccessful login attempts the user lockout is permanent.

When a user account is permanently locked out, an administrator must manually unlock the user account. For more information about how to unlock a user account, see Manage Users and Groups.

Super Administrator user accounts are always temporarily locked out; they cannot be permanently locked out.

Select > Administration > Administration > Access Management.
The Access Management page appears, with the Users & Groups page selected.
Select Configuration.
Select the Lockout tab.
To unlock the configuration so you can make changes, click .
