Security Improvements: User Account Deactivation policies is now live

This article is being reposted to raise attention to users that their accounts may be deactivated if they do not login once every 90 days.

Over time, users leave the organization, move department or simply no longer require access. Sometimes, an access will be granted to the supply chain or a client for a short period of time. This is why it is so important to keep the list of active users as accurate as possible. Stale user accounts are a significant security issue and also consume reclaimable database space. As part of the ongoing OpenGround security improvements and to help you keep your access list up to date, user account(s) will be automatically deactivated after a period of 90 days of inactivity

If you need to access OpenGround again, after 90 days of inactivity, please contact one of your OpenGround Administrators.

As an administrator, you have to set the Active option to Yes from the Edit User dialog in order to reactivate an account:

If you have any problem, please log a support ticket using the Product Support page - please select the relevant product in the product dropdown list as this will ensure that the ticket gets assigned to the correct team and will speed up your response.

Thanks!

  • Hi there.
    Although in general these is a good idea.
    what i have noticed is that Administrator can also be deactivated.
    This could cause issues (and nearly did the other day!!)
    Would it be possible to get the system to email the user who's account is being deactivated and all the administrators too.
    this should give a more visible process & not leave users locked out when they need the software.
    thanks
