Description

Currently, Tiki does not have a feature to lock a specific user account.

Such locks can be essential. E.g. when you created a user account, but the user doesn't use it. For security reasons, you must lock it after a certain grace period. Either automatically or, as a fallback, manually.

Deleting is not a way to do this, because then you delete all preferences, so in order to preserve user preferences, but secure the site, a lock feature is IMHO essential. Admins should have the ability to lock user accounts. Actually this should be a perm of its own "Can lock user accounts", given by default only to members of the Admin group.

As a workaround, an Admin can create a new password (only known by him/her), but I believe a locking mechanism is more elegant. Also it removes the necessity for the user to re-establish his/her password after the lock gets lifted.

In a more sophisticated version, Tiki could inform members of the Admin group if a user that has a lock imposed on his/her account tries to login, that a login attempt was made.
