Security Options

Security settings in Inventory Pro control login lockouts, session timeouts, and password requirements. These settings are configured at the server level in the application configuration file - they are not adjustable through the Inventory Pro interface.

Contact your system administrator to review or change security settings.

Managing Lockouts

When accounts or network locations are locked out, a Super Admin can unlock them without waiting for the lockout window to expire.

To reset user lockouts:

Navigate to Utilities → Diagnostics and select Reset User Lockouts.

This clears IP-based lockouts from recent failed login attempts. It does not unlock individual user accounts - to unlock a specific user, edit their account in System → Accounts → System Users.

To view recent login failures:

Navigate to Utilities → Diagnostics and select View Login Activity to review recent failed sign-ins and lockout events.

Viewing Locked-Out Users

To see which user accounts are currently locked out, go to System → Accounts → System Users and review accounts with a locked status.
