6. Password always expires: If this box is checked, the user’s password will expire based on the Pass-
word Expiration property. If the box is not checked, the password will never expire and, therefore, can-
not be changed by the user.
7. Force password change at first logon: If this box is checked, the user will be forced to change their
Password after the next time they log on. A prompt is displayed.
Modify User
The options in Modify User are the same as Add User, except that users can only modify users that have a
higher user level number (less access).
Delete User
To delete a user, select the User ID from the Users list, then click the Delete User button. If there is more
than one user defined, you cannot delete the last remaining Level 1 user. You can only delete other users that
have a higher user level number (less access).
Failed Logon Attempts
There are several Password control properties and events involved when a user log on fails. The Failed
Logon Attempt event fires and the attempt is recorded. If Max Failed Logon Attempt Enabled is True, and
the number of attempts exceeds Max Failed Logon Attempts, a countdown is started based on User Logon
Disabled Duration. The user will be unable to log on again until the time has elapsed and a warning message
is displayed.
The login attempt count is reset when any of the following occurs:
The control panel application is loaded
The user successfully logs on
The "User Logon Disable Duration" time elapses
The "Max Failed Logon Attempts Enabled" property is set to False
Password Expiration
If the Password Expiration Enabled property is False, passwords will never expire and, therefore, cannot be
changed by the user. If the Password Expiration Enabled property is True, a user’s password will expire after
the time defined in the Password Expiration property has elapsed (minimum 60 days, maximum 90 days).
