Locking user accounts manually

You can use the management GUI or the command-line interface to lock user accounts manually.

Before you begin

You must be assigned with the Security Administrator role to lock user accounts manually.

Using the management GUI

To lock the user account, complete the following steps:

In the management GUI, click Access > Users by Group. The Users by Group window is displayed, which shows the All Users section.
From the All users section, right-click on the user and click Lock to lock the selected user account.

Using the command-line interface

To lock the user account manually, complete these following steps:

To view the ID and name list of the user accounts, enter the following command:
```
lsuser
```
To lock the user account, enter the following command:
```
svctask chuser -lock <name_or_id>
```
Where <name_or_id> specifies the name or ID of the user account. The user account remains locked until you manually unlock the user account.
