Expiring a User Account

You can specify a user account to expire on a specific date. Expired accounts are not deleted from EFT; they can be enabled at any time. An expired user account triggers the "User Disabled" Event Rule.

EFT executes cleanup procedures every day at 00:00:00 UTC and at Server Startup. This daily server cleanup removes/disables inactive administrators and user accounts and sends password reset and expiration notifications for every Site. All reminder email messages are sent immediately after flagging the accounts to be reminded.

To disable a user on a specific date (account expiration)

  1. Click the user account for which you want to set an expiration date.

  2. In the right pane, click the General tab.

  3. Select the Expire this account on check box, and then click the list to select an expiration date.

  4. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT. On the specified date, a red "X" appears over the user icon on the Server tab, and the user account is disabled.
