  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

User accounts that have been locked can be reactivated at any time. System administrators can self-manage locked staff user accounts quickly without needing to contact Kareo Support.

User accounts become locked for the following reasons:

  • A system administrator selects Lock User on the Edit User page.
  • A user reaches the maximum number of failed login attempts. Tip: The maximum number of attempts can be defined on the Security Policy page.

Once an account is locked, it appears in the Locked Users list under User Settings.

Navigate to User Settings

  1. Hover over the User icon in the top right of the window and click Practice Settings. The Practice Settings page opens.
  2. Click User Settings in the left menu. The User Settings page opens.
