Lock the system
IT Manager Practice Admin
There may be occasions when you want to lock the system to prevent user access, for maintenance purposes.
Once set, staff members will be notified via a browser message that the system will be locked. The message will continue to be displayed when people navigate from page to page.
At the time set for the system to be locked, all users except those in the Access Group will be logged out of the system and will not be able to log in until the lockout details have been cleared.
