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.
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
