Question

Why do newly created users appear as locked in Configuration Client?

Answer

Newly created users appear as locked by default, indicated by a red padlock icon. This means the account has not yet been activated.

When a user is created, no password is assigned automatically. A password must be set before the account can be enabled.

To activate the user:

1. Select the user to see the User Properties page.

2. Set a new password

3. Click Apply.

4. Enable the Account is enabled option.

After completing these steps, the user account will be unlocked and ready for use.
