Lock Users Out of the System

User preferences are preferences that apply to each user. You can set up additional security measures for individual users, such as setting a workstation to automatically log off and manually locking certain users out of the system.

Note The user's account will lock automatically if too many incorrect logon attempts are made by the user or if the date in the user's Expiration Date field has passed.
