Introduction

In the dynamic environment of today’s business world, managing user access in your system is a key security measure. Empress provides an easy yet effective feature that allows system administrators to disable any user access when necessary. This may be needed when an employee changes roles, leaves the company, or due to certain security considerations. The user’s access can also be reactivated when needed.

Feature Name: Disabling a User

The Disabling a User feature in Empress allows you to restrict any user from accessing your system. This is done through the user interface in a few simple steps:

  1. Locate the search bar at the top of your screen (also called the awesome bar).
  2. Type in ‘User List’ and press the Enter key.
  3. From the list that appears, select the user you wish to disable.
  4. In the user’s profile, find the checkbox labeled ‘Enabled’.
  5. Uncheck this box.
  6. Click the Save button to apply your changes.

Once you’ve saved these changes, the user’s status will be updated to ‘Disabled’ in the User List. This means the user will no longer be able to access the system using their credentials.

Feature Name: Reactivating a User

The Reactivating a User feature in Empress allows you to restore a user’s access to your system. This feature is handy when a user needs to regain access to the system. To reactivate a user:

  1. Navigate back to the user’s profile.
  2. Find the ‘Enabled’ checkbox and tick it.
  3. Click the Save button to apply your changes.

Upon reactivating, all of the user’s settings and permissions will be restored exactly as they were prior to disabling. This ensures a seamless transition for the user upon regaining access to the system.

Conclusion

Managing user access is a critical aspect of maintaining the security and integrity of your Empress system. By regularly reviewing user access and making necessary adjustments, you can ensure that your system remains secure and your data is well-protected.
