Enable or Disable Users

Purpose

There are three ways to enable and disable a user account:

• As an Administrator
• As a Configuration Administrator

In addition to being able to Enable or Disable users, the Public User may also be enabled or disabled.

• The Public user is a default user set-up during the VisualVault installation. 
• The Public user is to be used to provide public/anonymous access (i.e. no User ID required) to a document or form by assigning "Public" security access rights.
  • Removing the Public user or creating a group called public will not provide the public permissions that the default user provides in the system.

If a user account has logged in one time, the user account cannot be deleted and should be disabled in the event the user is no longer needing to access VisualVault.

Disable User Accounts as Administrator

1. Hover over the user information in the upper right-hand corner of the window and select Control Panel.
   
2. Select the Admin Tools Tab.
   
3. Select Users.  
   
4. Under the User ID column, select the user who should be updated.
   
5. At the top of the window that appears, there is a checkbox: User is Enabled.
   • Uncheck the box and save the user account to disable.
