Enable or Disable Symphony Accounts

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony accounts can be enabled and disabled. When you create an account for the first time, it is automatically enabled.

Disable an Account

To disable an account definition:

  1. Log into Symphony as a supervisor of the account.

  2. Select Tools > Accounts from the main menu.

    The Manage Accounts work area opens. It lists the accounts that have been defined.

  3. In the list of accounts, select the name of the account you want to disable.

    The Edit Account page appears. It contains a single tab called General.

    You can switch to a different account on the Edit Account page. Simply select the current account name in the Edit Account title to see the Select Account dialog that lists all your accounts. Select the account name you want to switch to in the dialog.

  4. On the General tab, select (check) the Disable Account checkbox.

  5. Select Save to save your changes to the account.

After an account is disabled, users that were assigned to it can no longer switch to it while they are logged into other accounts to which they are assigned. If the user is not assigned to any other accounts, they cannot log into Symphony.
