User Configuration 〉 Activate or deactivate users
 
Activate or deactivate users
It is possible to deactivate a user account, for example if an employee is temporarily absent. The deactivated user can then no longer log on to SwyxServer. However, the user’s call routing (Call Forwarding, etc.) will continue to function and all his or her settings will remain intact.
In a SwyxWare for Data Center installation a deactivated user will also be counted for thr license report (Configured User). So select the feature profile 'Deactivated' in this scenario for the deactivated user. Users with this profile are not included in the license data reporting.
* 
If the rule " lock user after failed login attempts" is activated in SwyxServer configuration, then users can be automatically deactivated by the system and any potentially terminal devices and clients logged on may be logged off. For further information please refer to chapter Password settings.
