Access Limits

In version 1.1.2 were introduced 3 new options that let you define how many times your users can login to your site. You can set daily, weekly and total limits.

In the following 3 fields you should define the default number of logging in for the user:

• Pick the total accesses for user - This value must be more than for weekly and daily accesses.
• Pick the weekly accesses for user - This value must be less than for total accesses and more than for daily accesses.
• Pick the daily accesses for user - This value must be less than for total and weekly accesses.

If you want to make any of these parameters unlimited, you need to set the value "-1".

Note: the values you define in these fields are default. The default values are used in 2 cases:

1. When the user is created and you enable limits for him - the start limit values are equal to default.
2. If you changed the limit values for the user and later want to reset them to default. 

You can enable and change the limits for each user by navigating to Admin Dashboard → Users → All Users. Learn more about it.
