🔑 Allow Admins to Change Users’ Passwords

To let Admins change a user’s password, simply tick the checkbox labeled “Allow Admins to change users’ passwords.


ℹ️ Note: Users can still reset their own passwords from the login page—provided they have a valid email address recorded in their user account.

🚫 Lockout After Multiple Failed Login Attempts

📋 View and Export the Security Log

To view the security log, click on the Security Log tab.

🔍 Searching the Security Log

Use the Search Field to find matching data anywhere in the log — it searches all columns except the ‘Date’ column.

ℹ️ Note: You can also sort the log by clicking on the headers of any column in the register.

💾 Exporting the Security Log

To export the log as an .xls file, simply click Export. The file will then download to your PC.
