In AutomationEdge (AE UI), user accounts transition through seven distinct states during their lifecycle:

- **Unverified:** A newly created user account that has not yet logged in for the first time. Upon the user’s initial login attempt, a dormancy check runs—if passed, the state becomes **Active** ; if failed, it moves to **Disabled**.

- **Active:** The normal operating state. The user can log in and execute operations based on their assigned roles and permissions.

- **Locked:** Triggered automatically when a user exceeds the configured maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts.

- **Dormant:** Applied automatically when a user account has no sign-in activity for longer than the tenant’s configured _Dormancy Period_. A system or tenant administrator must manually intervene to enable or disable the account.

- **Disabled:** Set manually by an administrator from an Active, Enabled, or Locked state. Unlike Locked accounts, disabling a user account automatically disables all scheduled tasks associated with that user.

- **Enabled:** The intermediate state after an administrator unlocks or re-activates a Locked, Dormant, or Disabled user account. When the user logs in and updates their password, the account automatically transitions to **Active**.

- **Deleted:** Created internally when an administrator deletes a user account.
