Administrators can disable a user account so that the user cannot log in to Prime Infrastructure. You
might want to disable a user account if, for example, a user is on vacation or is temporarily changing job
functions. By locking the user account, you disable the user’s access to Prime Infrastructure. You can
later unlock the user account, enabling access to Prime Infrastructure, without having to re-create the
user.
User accounts may be disabled automatically if the password is not changed before expiration. Only an
administrator can reset the password in this case (see “Changing User Passwords” and “Changing
Password Policies” in Related Topics).
