Deactivating and Reactivating a User

User status is displayed in the Users page. A user can be deactivated manually or automatically; a user can be reactivated only manually.

You can locate the user by starting with the List All commands in the Accounts & Users menu. For example, to list all partner users, choose the List All Partners command in the Users group of the Accounts & Users menu.

Follow the steps below to alter a user’s status. Use the appropriate List All command to browse users of the correct type: List All Producers, List All Customers, List All Partners, or List All Self-Registered. (Not all user types are available for all users.)

To deactivate a user manually:

1. Locate the user you want to deactivate by listing all users or searching for the user.
To search, click Accounts & Users > Search Users, enter your search criteria, and click Search.
To list all users, click Accounts & Users > List All Customers, List All Producers, List All Partners, or List All Self-Registered.

The End-User Portal opens the search results page.

2. In the Users list, click the display name of the user you want to deactivate. This link opens the Edit User page.
3. On the Edit User page, click Status > Inactive.
4. Click Save.

A non-shared user is deactivated automatically after more incorrect consecutive login attempts than allowed.

A deactivated user can only be reactivated manually.

To reactivate a user:

1. Locate the user you want to reactivate by listing all users or searching for the user.
To search, click Accounts & Users > Search Users, enter your search criteria, and click Search.
To list all users, click Accounts & Users > List All Customers, List All Producers, List All Partners, or List All Self-Registered.

The End-User Portal opens the search results page.

2. In the Users list, click the display name of the user you want to reactivate. This link opens the Edit User page.
3. On the Edit User page, click Status > Active.
4. Click Save.

A reactivated user is informed by email. Reactivation does not affect a user’s password. If the reactivated user is shared, an administrator will get the email stating that the user has been reactivated.
