How can I lock user accounts in Confluence?

[Mick Davidson]

Morning,

Is it possible to create user accounts that automatically lock the user out if they don't login for a certain amount of time? For example, after a month or three months etc?

Cheers.

Hi Mick.

I don't know an easy way to do that in the interface, and the last autentication date is not available through the API.

The only way I can think of do that is to write an script which connect to the DB and check all AttributeName='lastAuthenticated' in the table cwd_user_attribute, and then deactivate the users which haven't logged in for the specified time. I recommendo you to do the user deactivation through the API rather than directly on DB.

Alex,

thanks. I'll pass the idea on to the tech team and see what they think.

Cheers,
