Managing the System Users

When the MCU is configured to Ultra Secure Mode (the ULTRA_SECURE_MODE is set to YES), the
following user management rules are automatically enforced:
Disabling/Enabling Users
● An administrator can disable a user or enable a disabled user, including administrators.
● The last administrator cannot be disabled.
For more information see
Renaming Users
● An administrator can rename any user, including administrators.
● A renamed user is considered by the system to be a new user and is forced to change his/her
password.
Disabling Inactive Users
Users can be automatically disabled by the system when they do not log into the Collaboration Server
application for a predefined period. When the Collaboration Server is configured to Ultra Secure Mode this
option is enforced.
● To enable this option, the DISABLE_INACTIVE_USER system flag to a value between 1 to 90. This
value determines the number of consecutive days a user can be inactive before being disabled.
When flag value is set to 0 (default in standard security environment), this option is disabled.
The flag value is automatically set to 30 days when Ultra Secure Mode is enforced.
● The user is marked as disabled but is not deleted from the system administrator/operator database.
● The user remains disabled until re-enabled by an administrator.
● If a disabled user attempts to Login, an error message, Account is disabled, is displayed.
● The last remaining administrator cannot be disabled.
