Password Expiration

Password expiration is one of the fields in the system setting > user configuration, which functions to set the validity and age of the user’s password. An Administrator in order to improve the security of an application, they usually apply a rule where the user password in 3Dolphins must always be changed every few periods.

User Expiration

User expiration is one of the fields in the system setting > user configuration, which functions to set the validity and age of the user’s account. An Administrator in order to improve the security of an application, they usually apply the rule where user accounts in the 3Dolphins application will be blocked if the user account has no activity at all within a certain time.

So, when you set the system settings > user configuration > user expiration value is 2, then if within 2 days the account has no activity at all (login and change password) then the account will be locked automatically by the system. A locked user account will be entered in the blocked user list found in the administration menu > user management > blocked.
