	~~[[Category:~~ Commander4j]]		The Users screen is the central administration interface for managing user accounts in Commander4j. It is accessible to administrators from the System menu.
	~~[[file:Users0~~.~~png\|link=\|200px]]~~

	[[~~file~~:~~Users1~~.~~png~~\|~~link~~=\|~~700px~~]]		== User Account States ==

			A user account can be in any combination of the following states, all of which affect whether the user can log in:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! State !! Description
			\|-
			\| '''Enabled''' \|\| The account is active. If set to No, the user cannot log in regardless of any other setting.
			\|-
			\| '''Locked''' \|\| The account has been locked, either manually or automatically after too many failed login attempts. Can be configured to unlock automatically after a set number of minutes, or require manual administrator intervention.
			\|-
			\| '''Expired''' \|\| The account has passed its expiry date. Only applies when Account Expires is enabled for that user.
			\|-
			\| '''Password expired''' \|\| The user's password has not been changed within the configured expiry period.
			\|-
			\| '''Password change required''' \|\| The administrator has flagged that the user must change their password at next login.
			\|}

			== User Properties ==

			Each user account has the following properties:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! Field !! Description
			\|-
			\| '''User ID''' \|\| Unique identifier, stored in uppercase. Cannot be changed after creation (use Rename instead).
			\|-
			\| '''Description''' \|\| Free-text comment identifying the user (up to 40 characters).
			\|-
			\| '''Email Address''' \|\| Used for notifications.
			\|-
			\| '''Language''' \|\| The default UI language for this user (English, French, German, and others).
			\|-
			\| '''Account Enabled''' \|\| Set to No to disable login without deleting the account.
			\|-
			\| '''Account Locked''' \|\| Locks the account. Normally set automatically after exceeding the maximum bad password attempts.
			\|-
			\| '''Account Expires''' \|\| When enabled, the account will be rejected after the Account Expiry Date.
			\|-
			\| '''Password Expires''' \|\| When enabled, the user must change their password after the configured number of days.
			\|-
			\| '''Password Change Allowed''' \|\| Controls whether the user can change their own password.
			\|-
			\| '''Password Change Required''' \|\| Forces the user to change their password at next login.
			\|-
			\| '''Last Logon''' \|\| Read-only. The timestamp of the user's most recent successful login.
			\|-
			\| '''Last Password Change''' \|\| Read-only. When the password was last changed.
			\|-
			\| '''Bad Password Attempts''' \|\| Read-only. Count of consecutive failed login attempts since last success.
			\|}

			== Password Policy ==

			Password rules are configured globally through [[System Keys]] and apply to all users:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! Setting !! Default !! Description
			\|-
			\| Minimum length \|\| 6 \|\| Shortest permitted password
			\|-
			\| Maximum length \|\| 20 \|\| Longest permitted password
			\|-
			\| Complexity \|\| Off \|\| When enabled, requires minimum numbers of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters
			\|-
			\| History \|\| 5 \|\| Number of previous passwords remembered to prevent reuse
			\|-
			\| Expiry days \|\| 90 \|\| Days before a password must be changed (when Password Expires is enabled)
			\|-
			\| Max bad attempts \|\| 5 \|\| Failed logins before account is locked
			\|-
			\| Auto unlock \|\| 0 \|\| Minutes before a locked account is unlocked automatically (0 = manual only)
			\|}

			Passwords cannot contain the user's own User ID, and cannot match any password within the history limit.

			== Managing Users ==

			From the User Admin list, the following actions are available:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! Action !! Description
			\|-
			\| '''Add''' \|\| Creates a new user account with an initial password.
			\|-
			\| '''Edit''' \|\| Opens the user properties dialog for the selected user.
			\|-
			\| '''Delete''' \|\| Removes the user account. The currently logged-in user and the system INTERFACE account cannot be deleted.
			\|-
			\| '''Copy''' \|\| Duplicates an existing user, including their group memberships.
			\|-
			\| '''Rename''' \|\| Changes a user's ID to a new value.
			\|-
			\| '''Lock / Unlock''' \|\| Manually locks or unlocks the selected account.
			\|-
			\| '''Permissions''' \|\| Opens the [[Permissions]] screen to assign the user to [[Groups]].
			\|}

			The list can be exported to Excel or printed in User ID or Last Logon order.

			== Audit Trail ==

			All user management actions (create, delete, lock, unlock, enable, disable, password change, group assignment) are recorded in the audit log, including the administrator who performed the action and a timestamp.

			== Security Model ==

			A user's access to application screens and reports is determined entirely by [[Groups\|group]] membership. A user with no group assignments can log in but cannot access any module. See [[Permissions]] and [[Groups]] for details.

			See also: [[Logon]], [[Groups]], [[Permissions]], [[System Keys]], [[Default Username & Password]]
