User guide

The DSView software obtains external group membership and external user information when a
user logs in. If a user’s group membership changes or the user is deleted externally, the DSView
software will not see those changes until the next time that user logs in.
Deleting User Accounts
To delete one or more user accounts:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click the checkbox to the left of the username(s). To delete all users on the page, click the
checkbox to the left of User Name at the top of the list.
3. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog box will appear.
4. Confirm or cancel the deletion.
Unlocking User Accounts
If lock-out settings have been specified for the DSView internal authentication service and a
user exceeds these settings, the user will not be allowed to attempt another log in until a
certain amount of time has passed. Users that have been locked out will appear with a lock
next to their name in the User Accounts window and Locked will appear in the Status column.
User administrators or administrators may manually unlock the user accounts.

software session.
