 The Sidebar Users list can expand and collapse. If the list is expanded,

 The large main panel shows the user's name; the description that was
given when the account was created; and whether the account is
currently active or has been disabled.
Status allows you to control the user's account and access
to the installation, as follows:

Disable Account lets you suspend a user's account
without actually deleting it, so that it can be easily
reinstated in the future.

If you don't want to limit the time scope of the account,
select Account never expires; if you do want to limit the
amount of time that the account remains in effect, select
Account expires on, and key in the expiration date.

To require a user to change his password at the next
logon, select User must change password at next logon.
This can be used by the administrator to give the user a
temporary password to log in for the first time, and then let
the user set the password of his choice for future logins.

To make a password permanent, so that the user cannot
change it to something else, select User cannot change
password.

For security purposes, administrators may want users to
change their passwords from time to time.

If not, select Password never expires. This allows
users to keep their current passwords for as long as
they like.

If so, select Password expires after, and key in the
number of days allowed before the password expires.
Once the time is up, a new password must be set.
