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:

User Types

●Auditor and chairperson user types are not supported.

●The SUPPORT user type is not allowed. If it exists, this user type is removed when the ULTRA_SECURE_MODE is set to YES and the system is restarted.

The Audit files can be retrieved by the Administrator User.

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 Disabling Inactive Users.

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.
