Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to access/set the "lockout attempts" configured for the project user source from a vision window?  
For that matter, is it possible to make any changes to the user source at all through a vision client application?

There are always ways....

There are methods in the javadocs, specially `com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.user.UserSourceProfileRecord`, to get and set user source attributes.

You can also get the gateway context and query the internal database, but be cautious as you can break stuff pretty easily if you aren't careful.

If this isn't something you have done or are comfortable with, I would stick to setting these properties from the Gateway homepage.
