Local User Account
The Local User Account page lets you increase system security by:
● Locking out users who have exceeded the specified number and frequency of login failures. The
system locks the account either indefinitely or for the length of time you specify.
● Disabling accounts that have been inactive a specified number of days.
The following table describes the fields on the Local User Account page.
