Disable and Re-enable User Logins (Opt-In Available)

Use the actions in the User Activity utility in the browser application to temporarily prevent users from logging in to Vantagepoint when you need to perform certain maintenance tasks.

When you disable user logins from the User Activity utility, users with an Administrator security role are still able to log on.

Disabling and enabling user logins from the User Activity utility is separate from, and does not impact or change, the Disable Login checkbox setting on the Users form in Settings > Security > Users for a user.

If you disable logins while users are still logged in to Vantagepoint, the users are returned to the Vantagepoint login dialog box.

Prerequisite: These steps apply if you enabled the User Activity utility in the Opt-In Features grid in Settings > General > Opt-In.

You can choose to opt in to this feature for the Vantagepoint 7.1 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all Vantagepoint users in a future release. For more information, see Opt-In Feature Overview.

To disable and then re-enable logins:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Utilities > Analysis > User Activity.
  2. On the User Activity form, click the Actions menu button and select Disable user logins.
    You see a "Successfully Disabled Logins" message on the Vantagepoint main toolbar.
  3. To re-enable user logins, click the Actions menu button and select Enable user logins.
    You see a "Successfully Enabled Logins" message on the Vantagepoint main toolbar.
