Overview

The Override Security option in User Maintenance controls whether a user can log in when their account is locked.


What Override Security does

When you select the Override Security checkbox for a user, that user can log into DeltaWMS even if their account is locked.

This setting is useful for administrators who need guaranteed access to the system, regardless of account status.


Enable Override Security

To enable Override Security for a user, follow these steps:

  1. Open the User Maintenance screen.

  2. Select the user you want to edit, or create a new user.

  3. Select the Override Security checkbox.

  4. Click Save.

The user can now log in even if their account becomes locked.

⚠️Important: Only enable Override Security for users who require this level of access, such as system administrators
