unblock user in password self-service

Question

Hi,

is there a way to manually unblock a user from Password Self-Service in case he entered his/her answers incorrectly and can't wait the predefined time until he gets automatically unblocked?

Regards
Ingemar

Hello Ingemar,

Yes, take a look at the following help article for instructions: http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Mana ... kUser.html.

Thanks for the update, must have missed that.

One more question on this, if I want to create a custom Security Role to allow a selected group of people to enter the Adaxes Service Administration and unblock users. Which rights do I need to assign?

Best regards
Ingemar

Ingemar,

The following article contains instructions on how to delegate the necessary permissions: http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Mana ... Users.html.

Alternatively, to avoid granting your users access to the Administration Console just for the purpose of unblocking users, you can create a Custom Command for this purpose. Custom Commands can be executed in the Web interface.

To create a Custom Command that can be executed on user account to unblock the user:

1. Create a new Custom Command.

2. On the 2nd step of the Create Custom Command wizard, select the User object type.
   

3. On the 3rd step, add the Run a program or PowerShell script action and paste the following script in the Script field.

    try
    {
        $Context.TargetObject.UnblockUser()
    }
    catch
    {
        $Context.LogMessage($_.Exception.Message, "Error")
    }
