User Status
Users that are managed by Sealights have 2 types of statuses”: “status” and “password status”.
| Note |
|---|
SSO Users are managed outside of Sealights, thus, password status is irrelevant for them. SSO users are created upon first login in an active status. An admin can delete an SSO user from Sealights settings, but this user will be created again on next login if the user is not blocked from the Identity Management. |
