External User Settings

Disable External User Creation

Disables external user creation for all users, including administrators. The "Users" → "External Users" page will disappear from the left menu for all users.

This is useful when temporary accounts and file sharing with external users are not desired.

The options below will be inactive when this option is active.

Disable External User Creation by Users

Prevents users from creating external user accounts while still allowing administrators to do so. Users will not see the "Users" → "External Users" page on the left menu.

This is useful when temporary accounts and file sharing with external people is not desired.

Disable External User Expiration

Controls whether external user accounts have an expiration date. When enabled, the creation dialog will no longer require an expiration date, and editing the expiration date for existing external users will be disabled.

Disable Editing External User Expiration Date by Users

Controls the expiration time of external user accounts created by your users. For example, this configuration ensures that your users cannot create external user accounts valid for more than a day and cannot edit the expiration date for existing external user accounts.

Default External User Expiration Period

Sets the default period after which a external user account is permanently removed from the system.

Limit Login Attempts for External Users

Enables the user lockout feature for external users. Locks out external users if they fail to authenticate within the maximum amount of login attempts. The lockout duration is set by the "Lock account for (minutes)" configuration field.

Enable Restriction of Maximum External User Accounts

Restrict the maximum number of external user accounts per user. Administrators can set this limit using the "Maximum Number of External User Accounts Allowed" input.
