Accounts

Account Status

The account status determines whether a user can login to UIR and can be one of the following:

• Active. An active user can login to UIR.
• Inactive. An inactive user cannot login to UIR (intended to be on a short-term basis).
• Out of Office. An out-of-office user is inaccessible (i.e., UIR cannot route requests to that user). The user can login at any time and change the status.
• Permanently Inactive. A permanently inactive user cannot login to UIR (intended to be on a long-term basis).
