To get to the Lockout options settings section:
1. Click on the Settings option in the main ATS Security menu.
2. The Settings blade loads with four options in the blade menu: Password options, Lockout options, Customize login page, User registration.
3. Click on the Lockout options option in the blade menu.
4. The lockout options are loaded with two sections: Lockout policy and Lockout settings.
There are Save and Discard options in the top right corner of the Settings blade - Lockout options tab. These options are disabled. Once you modify something in the tab the Save and Discard options become enabled. Your changes will be lost or ignored in case you close this blade or navigate to another tab without clicking on the Save option.
When user lockout is disabled the remaining lockout settings are disregarded. This means that the user can provide wrong password unlimited number of times and his account will never be locked.

1. Check the "Disable user lockout" check box.
2. The Lockout settings section becomes "disabled" - the fields can not be edited. Also the Save and Discard options become enabled.
3. Click on the Save option.
4. "Settings successfully saved" success notification appears.
To enable user lockout:

When user lockout is enabled then the lockout settings are considered when user accounts are being locked.
1. Select number in the Maximum failed attempts field to count the number of wrong passwords provided before the user account gets locked. Value 1 in this field means that the user account is locked immediately when the user provides wrong password.
2. Click on the Save option.
3. "Settings successfully saved" success notification appears.
1a. Select the Lockout never ends radio button option to make sure that locked user accounts can only be unlocked by the administrator from the user's grid context option or from user details blade. When this option is selected the minutes selector field in the Lockout settings section is disabled.
1b. Select the Lockout ends in (minutes) radio button option to provide some duration of the lockout period after which the account becomes automatically unlocked (it can also be unlocked by the administrator prior expiration of the lockout period). When this option is selected the minutes selector field in the Lockout settings section is enabled and here you can select the desired lockout duration in minutes.
2. Click on the Save option.
3. "Settings successfully saved" success notification appears.
