Hi,  
Is there an event to catch this function?

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/litium/original/1X/0d6646d80a8aaa107678d6d4ea91cec690768d99.png)  
I would like to send an email to the user when this event is triggered.

Thanks in advanced  
Litium version: 7.2

You need to create an event to fire on change.

But would that apply on all changes for all fields?  
Is there a specific event for this?

Sorry checked now and that property is in dbo.Foundation.User and not sure you can add a event to it. But you can set time on locked out on web.config:  
`</passwordPolicy lockoutCount="-1" lockoutSeconds="300" expirePeriodInDays="-1" complexityRule="false" lengthRule="false" />`  
If you set it to 300 that means 5 minuts and then the account is unlocked so no need for sending email.

Thanks for your reply.

I was thinking to build an automated function for webadmin, so they can activate an account and automatically send an email to the user that the account has been activated. Otherwise it should be done manually by the webadmin.
