By default, FileCloud is set to not send an email message to the user or admin to notify them that the account has been locked due to incorrect login attempts. However, you may change this setting.

2. Scroll down to the Account Locked Alert setting.
   
3. In the drop-down list, choose one of the following settings:
   No Email - Neither the user nor the admin receives an email notification about the user account lockout.
   Email User - The user receives an email notification about their account lockout but the admin does not.
