Disable User Logins

You must disable logins to perform certain maintenance tasks. If all logins are disabled, users with an Admin security role are still able to log in. This utility is separate from the option to disable users in Security Settings.

Prerequisites:

To access the User Activity utility in the desktop application (under Utilities > Analysis), you must not enable the User Activity utility in Settings > General > Opt-In, in the Opt-In Features grid. When you enable the User Activity utility opt-in feature, the User Activity utility in the browser application is available instead of the utility in the desktop application. The two utilities are similar. For more information about the User Activity utility in the browser application, see User Activity Utility (browser application).

To disable user logins:

  1. On the Navigation menu in the desktop application, click Utilities > Analysis > User Activity.
  2. On the toolbar of the User Activity form, click Actions > Disable user logins.

    When a user's login is disabled, the user loses access to Vantagepoint and any sessions, including API sessions, associated with that user.
