By default, no user is exempt from the Password Policy. You can specify a user to be excluded from the password expiration policy by selecting Never.

Session Timeout
Select the length of time the session will remain active without any user activity. The session will end when it reaches the selected timeout. The user will need to log in again.
Account Lockout Threshold
Select the number of login attempts before the account is locked out.
The login limit defines the number of failed attempts allowed before a user account is disabled or locked for a specified time. When a user attempts to login and fails (because of an incorrect password), each attempt counts against the login limit. When the login limit is achieved, the account is disabled or locked for a specified time, according to the parameters set in the Account Lockout Duration field. The login limit is defined by the Password Policy.
Account Lockout Duration
Select the length of time that an account is locked out.
