Change the User Login Password

Disabled users cannot log in to their Riva Cloud accounts, and their sync policies are disabled.

You can temporarily disable or re-enable user accounts in two ways:

• One user at a time.
• Multiple users at a time.

1. Edit the target user.

2. Do one of the following:

   • To enable the user account, select the Enable User Account check box; or
   • To disable the user account, clear the check box.
      

   

3. At the bottom of the page, select Save to update the target user account.

   The User Manager displays to the right of the disabled target user account.

To enable or disable multiple user accounts at a time:

1. In the User Manager, select the check boxes to the left of the users that you want to enable or disable.

2. Select the With Selected drop-down menu, and choose Enable User or Disable User.

   

   Note: The red squares indicate that the users are enabled. When a user is disabled, the square becomes dark grey.

   The User Manager displays to the right of disabled target users.

Unlock a Locked User

To prevent brute force attacks against your Riva Cloud account, a user is locked out after eight failed login attempts in a row. After verifying that it was really one of your users who failed to log in, you can unlock the user.

To unlock a locked user:

1. Edit a target user.

2. Near the top right corner of the window, clear this check box: Locked by Intrusion Detection.
