Usage guidelines
The login-attempt policy depends on the view:
The policy in system view has global significance and applies to all user groups.
•
The policy in user group view applies to all local users in the user group.
•
The policy in local user view applies only to the local user.
•
A login-attempt policy with a smaller application scope has higher priority. The system prefers to use the
login-attempt policy in local user view for a local user.
