Unlock a selected user's account and allow them authentication and access resources. The unlock action is often completed when a user is locked out of their account due to frequent login attempts with invalid credentials.

1.

Sign in to Vindicia IDP Console 2.0 by clicking **Manage Users** Link in the Vindicia Portal under your account avatar.

The User Management screen appears.

2.

[Search for the relevant user](adminSearchUser) or select the user from the list.

The selected user's **Identity** page opens.

3. Click **Actions** > **Unlock user** from the top-right corner.

4. Select an option from the **Unlock user** confirmation prompt:

   * **Unlock user** unlocks the current user account and allows them to sign in/authenticate and access resources again.
   * **Cancel** stops the unlock action and returns you to the user's **Identity** page.

You have unlocked the user so they can authenticate and access related services. The system updates the user's status to **Activated** on the **Identity** page and Users list.
