Status Attributes Associated with User Accounts

Every item in the Geo SCADA Expert database has its own Status display (also referred to as a View window or View dialog). You view an item's Status display by selecting that item's View Status pick action or menu option. The Status display provides information about the status of the selected item, presenting the information in the form of 'status attributes'. For further information about working with Status displays, see Status Displays.

Use this section if you need information about the status of a user on the system.

This section summarizes the status attributes that are specific to User Accounts. The status attributes comprise:

• Account Enabled—This status attribute indicates whether the user's account is enabled (available for use). The possible states are True, or False.

  If the attribute is set to False (indicating that the account is disabled), the user will be unable to log onto Geo SCADA Expert.

• Password Expires—This status attribute indicates the date and time at which the user's current password is due to expire. The status attribute is only displayed if security is enabled on the User Account and a password expiry interval is specified (see Define the Security Settings for a User).
