Locking a User

Scenarios

Users may be suspended for a long time due to service changes. For security purposes, you can lock such users.

You can lock a user by using either of the following methods:

  • Automatic lock: You can set the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts in the password policy to lock the users who fail to log in to the system for a specified number of times. For details, see Configuring Password Policies.
  • Manual lock: You manually lock a user.

This section describes how to lock the account manually. Machine-Machine users cannot be locked.

Impact on the System

After a user is locked, you cannot log in to FusionInsight Manager again or perform identity authentication again in the cluster. The locked user can be used only after you manually unlock the user or wait for the lock time to expire.

Procedure

  1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager.
  2. Choose System > Permission > User.
  3. Locate the row that contains the user to be locked, and click Lock.
  4. In the displayed dialog box, select I have read the information and understand the impact., and click OK.
