Activating and deactivating user
In Lanius CMS, the status of every user can be set to one of two states: activated or deactivated. An activated user can perform all operations of which they have permissions. A deactivated user can't perform any tasks. Moreover, if a deactivated user attempt to log in, they will not be allowed and will receive a message asking them to contact the website's administrator.
- To activate the user, select the checkbox next to the user you want to activate (or click on one of it's parameters) and press Activate button. The user account has been enabled, and the status is updated in the
Active column of the Manage Users page.
- To deactivate the user, select the checkbox next to the user you want to deactivate (or click on one of it's parameters) and press Deactivate button. The user account has been disabled, and the status is updated in the
Active column of the Manage Users page.
You can see if the user is currently active or not in the Active column of the Manage Users page.
