Home > eICS > Guide - Contacts > Activate or Deactivate a User Account


Column
width10

Administrators can change a contact's ability to access eICS and respond to incidents by activating or deactivating their account. If you deactivate an account:

  • Other eICS users cannot assign the contact to an ICS position,
  • Other eICS users cannot deploy the contact to an incident, and
  • The contact cannot access the eICS application.

The Account Information / Log In drawer for a user can contain the following options: Contact is active and Enable user account. If the contact has a username (that is, has been granted access to eICS), the drawer does not contain the Enable user account check box. In this case, activating and deactivating the contact is done solely through the Contact is active check box.

Selecting or clearing these check boxes changes a contact's access and availability as follows:

Contact is active

Enable user account

The contact...
