Every user created in the CTP system expires after a specified time limit. If there is no user activity for a specified number of days after the expiry of the password, the user is locked out of the system. Such users can access the system only after their account is unlocked by a system administrator.
 | Note: The menu option, Unlock user account is displayed only if you log in as a system administrator. |
