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.
