Disabled User IDs

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=netserver-disabled-user-profiles

A user profile becomes disabled when the user tries to access IBM i NetServer a specified number of times with an incorrect password. A user profile cannot become completely disabled when connecting to a system with IBM i NetServer. If a user exceeds the maximum number of sign-on attempts, the user profile becomes disabled for IBM i NetServer use only. Other types of access, such as a system sign-on, are not prevented.

The user can manage these disabled user profiles or enable them in the list.
