The Edit Users dialog also allows the user’s Description to be changed and the user’s Password to be reset. The username cannot be changed. To disable a user, uncheck the Enabled checkbox.

Note:Disabled users cannot login to Lighthouse using either the Web-based interface or via shell-based logins (that is sshusername-disabled@lighthouse-name-or-ip). The user and the /home/username-disabled directory still exist in the Lighthouse VM file system.
