Support

I would like to submit a feature request for which I cannot find any adequate Joomla extension. I run a closed community Joomla site where no public registration is allowed. I have a need to block or deactivate frontend user accounts after a given period of inactivity. I do not want to delete these user accounts for a number of reasons. There are Joomla extensions to delete inactive accounts but this does not meet my technical need. Admin Tools has the ability to block front-end user accounts, but this depends on open registration which my site does not support. There is a similar feature for backend accounts, but this does not fit my use case either as my need is for general front-end account support of this feature request.

I appreciate your consideration of this request. I view it as an important security feature for which I can find no automated functionality at this time. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. I attempted this before posting this ticket in hopes that the feature would work on front end users. Your reply indicates that it should. I confirmed that all of the users I wish to audit are in the "Registered" group. My settings are as shown in the attached screenshot. The process should run every 60 minutes and look for any user who has not logged into the site for at least 365 days (1 year). I have a number of accounts who have not logged into the site in close to two years. After letting this process run over night, I noted that the accounts had not been changed to block / deactivated. Is there anything further then the settings in the attached screenshot that needs to be set in order for this process to run as explained? I even checked for cron jobs that would match this task, but did not see any. As such, i am guessing that this process should run simply based on gthe iven settings from the screenshot? My thanks for your feedback on this matter.

Thank you for the reply. I do have two super users in the protected accounts fields at the bottom. I simply cut those fields from the screenshot for security reasons. I thank you for the explanation. The site is fairly low traffic so I will give the process another day or two to see if I get the expected results. I thank you very much for the details and confirmation. I will close the ticket given I have the details for which I was searching. Thank you for your time, Nicholas.You have authored an amazing set of tools! Well worth the cost.
