Deleting Inactive Administrator Accounts

The HS module allows you to disable or remove user accounts; however, administrator accounts can only be removed, not disabled. Inactive accounts are removed every night at midnight, during Server Startup, and at each GetAllSites() response. If you do not activate the HS module, this feature is disabled after the 30-day trial period expires.

For HS-enabled sites, EFT Server enables the option to disable or remove inactive accounts automatically, and warn if you attempt to disable that setting. The option to remove administrator accounts will be enabled by default, unless during the setup process you choose not to enable this option. EFT Server prompts administrators when they login advising them of the potential removal of their account if their login failed due to unknown login name. The removal of accounts is captured in the Auditing and Reporting database for reporting.

If a user attempts to log in remotely to EFT Server with an administrator username that does not exist or an incorrect password, the Administrator displays a warning message.
