Suspension Time |
[Only available when 'Suspend User' is checked] Enter the time when the operator is suspended. |
Account Inactivity Period (Days) |
If the operator does not log into Live Platform for the number of days specified, their account will be suspended. Maximum: 10 days. Default: 0 (The operator can log into Live Platform at any time irrespective of how long they've been logged off; even if they haven't logged in for weeks, their account will not be suspended). |
Session Inactivity Period (Minutes) |
Defines how long an Live Platform GUI page remains accessible despite operator inactivity. If the period times out, the page locks and the operator is prompted to reenter their password to re-access it; the same page that the operator was on before the period timed out then opens. After the operator logs in to the GUI, every time they interact with it, e.g., clicking, the timer is reset. Default: 0 (GUI always accessible irrespective of inactivity). |
Session Leasing Duration (Hours) |
Enter the session leasing duration, in hours. If it expires, the application will close the client session / force the operator to reenter their password in order to re-access the application. Default: 0 (the session leasing duration will never expire and the application will never close the client session). Note that the Device Manager inherits the value configured. |
Password Update Min Period (Hours) |
Specify a period, in hours. The operator's password cannot be changed more than once within the period specified. |
Password Validity Max Period (Days) |
Specify a period, in days. The operator's password must be changed within this number of days after the last password change. Default: 90 days. If 0 is specified, the password can be changed an unlimited number of times, unrestricted by period, after the last change. |
Password Warning Max Period (Days) |
Specify the number of days. The operator will receive a warning message this number of days before the date on which the password expires. Default: 7 days (i.e., the operator will receive a warning message a week before their password expires). If 0 is specified, the operator will receive warning messages irrespective of the date on which the password expires. |

Provides the capability to define the number of login attempts the operator can make before they're suspended, per operator. Enhances operator security management. |
