h3. User status

Depending on the global configuration users can have several statuses:

* *activated*

** This icon !/images/locked.png! means that the account is activated. A user having an activated account can log in and access the application.

* *locked*

** This icon !/images/unlock.png! means that the account is locked. A user having a locked account cannot log in and access the application.

* *registered*

** This icon !/images/unlock.png! can also mean that the account is registered. A user having a registered account cannot log in and access the application. (TODO, explain and add references)

The Lock/Unlock buttons let you lock/unlock the activated users and the Activate button let you activate registered users.
