Logon Time Restrictions Far beyond Native Windows Controls

UserLock makes it easy to manage the hours and days that any user, or group of users, may log on to a Windows Server domain; helping implement effective login controls that improve network security.

Logon Hour Restrictions

For a defined time period, set logon hours as either authorized or denied for different session types.

Use Case Example 1

For a group of users deny any interactive logon outside business hours

Session Time Quotas

Authorize a maximum period of time (hours and minutes) a user is connected – per day, week or month - for different session types.

Use Case Example 2

For a group of users enforce 37 hours per week of workstation session usage.

Step by Step guide

Administrator options

Set by Group

Unlike native Windows, UserLock allows logon time restrictions to be set for any user, group of users or Organization Unit.

Set by Session Type

Configure the time frames for different types of session (workstation, terminal, Wi-Fi & VPN and/or IIS).

Set Maximum Session Length

When the time expires, the session will automatically logoff the user– with prior warning.

Set according to Machine’s Local Time Zone

Choose to apply time restrictions according to each client machine’s time instead of the UserLock server time.

Force Logoff When Logon Hours Expire

Using native controls, there is no way to force a user to log off an interactive logon session, when their hours expire. Read more.

But with UserLock, an administrator can choose to automatically logoff users outside of authorized timeframes, or when time is up.

A warning notification can be displayed to users before UserLock initiates the session logoff.

Force Logoff & Idle Session Time Limit

UserLock can also automatically logoff sessions after a specific idle time. This forced logoff helps protect shared workstations which are left open and pose obvious security and compliance risks.

Logoff every open session after an idle period of 20 minutes

Use Case Example 3

Logoff every open session by any member of a group after an idle period of 20 minutes.

Reporting on Logon Hours

Easy-to-read reports on the logon hours for all users on your network. Every connection event, across all session types are considered to build an accurate picture of the actual work hours.

With more and more organizations managing flexible working hours and remote users, it makes it easier for IT admins to see how much users are actively connected.
