So ... Let's see those options ...

Option #1: Block user by time

On this tab, you’ll see the list of all registered users.

You can select a user by clicking the pencil icon in the given row. Then you can add the time range when you want this user to be blocked:

Or you can block all your users at once for a given time range.

Just scroll down to the block time option, add the time intervals for each day, and click the "Apply to all" button:

And don't forget to click the blue "Update Blocked User" button to save your settings!

Option #2: Block user by date

On the next tab you can block the users by date. Similarly, you can select the targeted user(s) and you can add a date range:

Option #3: Block user permanently

Option #4: Block user by role

If you want to block users with a specific user role, you need to go to the "Select User/Category" drop-down list (available on each tab) and then select "Role":

All you have to do is to select a role, define a time or date range and click on the "Update Blocked Role" button.

One more thing ... In all these actions, you can use a generic message for the blocked users. But if you want, you can add a custom message for each user:

The given message will be displayed next time when the targeted user will try to login into his/her account.

OK. Let's move forward to the last lesson to see how can you unblock a given user ...
