Users

Clear a user's sign-in lock.

Changed on

Clears the lock on a user's password sign-in after repeated failed sign-ins, before SIGN_IN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES ends, and resets the count of failures. The lock returns if sign-in keeps failing, so restrict who can reach sign-in when someone is locking a user out deliberately. Requires an administrator as well as the scope. Recorded as a sign_in_unlocked audit event naming the calling administrator and API key. Requires the users:write scope.
