  • Minimum Username Length: The default is 4. You can change it to any higher number. If you do then this number will apply to ALL users.
  • Enforce Password Change: The default is No. This means that users will never be forced to change their passwords. If you change the default to Yes, then all users will have to change their passwords in accordance with the Password Change Frequency that you set next.
  • Password Change Frequency (days): The default is 60 days. This default is only valid if you change the Enforce Password Change default to Yes. If you do this then you can also change this number of days default to a longer period.
  • Auto Suspend Users: This is used to automatically suspend a user from accessing Back Office after a set period. The default is No. If you want to suspend ALL, the users after a certain period of time then change the default to Yes.
  • Auto Suspend After Period (days): The default is 60 days. This default is only valid if you change the Auto Suspend Users default to Yes. If you do this then you can also change this number of days default to a longer period.
  • Login Notification to Administrator: This is used if the Administrator wants to know every time a user logs in to Back Office. The default is No. Simply change this to Yes and the Administrator will be notified by email every time a user logs in to Back Office.
  • Keep Password Unique: This is used to set the period after which a user can use the same password again. The default is One Time. What this means is that when a user’s password expires after the default period of 60 days or the new period set by the Administrator, the user will have to enter a new password in accordance with the relevant settings above. They can then use their original password again after this period has expired. If you want the period longer before a previous password can be used again, select one from the drop down If you select Always, then the user will have to choose a new password every time their password expires.
  • After changing any of the default settings above, click on Save to effect your changes. The Administrator can change any of the above at any time.
