When a user logs in for the first time the system performs the following actions as part of that login process:

The first time the user creates a calendar entry, their personal calendar is created. The calendar is not shared and will remain private to the user unless they choose to share their calendar or the administrator initiates and shares the calendar.

The Global User Settings are carried forward to the user's personal settings.

The user is presented with an interface based on their permissions and role.

What Happens Every Time a User Logs In?

As you log into the system check the following settings:

  • If the password fails then the system stores the username and number of attemps. If the number of attempts exceeds password policy settings, the user account is locked and an email is sent to the system administrator.
  • If there is an IP restriction it is verified that the user's IP address is appropriate.
  • If there is a workstation restriction it is verified that the user's workstation is appropriate.
  • System stores the user's browser settings to assist with any troubleshooting.
  • User's session start time is stored in the system log.
  • The user is presented with an interface based on their permissions and role.
