Status

Determines whether and how the user can log in at runtime. A user can be deactivated at development time. This is particularly necessary if, for example, training measures are carried out before commissioning in which a user is to assign their own password for the first time.

At runtime, a user can be deactivated by their administrator, e.g. if the user is absent for a longer period of time.

A user is automatically locked at runtime if the Maximum permitted login failures parameter is activated in their user group: If a user forgets their password or an unauthorised person attempts to log in under a user name, their status is set to locked by the system.
