How to Change a User's Password from the User Account's Details Page

You can change anyone's password under the following conditions.

• The password is internally validated.

• You have permission to edit and create users.

If you don't have user and group permissions, see How to Change Your Password From the Log In Page.

This procedure describes how to change a user's password by using the browser interface. You can also change passwords by using the following command.

• udb.u.cp – Changes the password of a specific user.

For a detailed description of these commands, see udb.g: Managing User Groups in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

When you change the password on a user account and the user account has session variables encrypted by the user account's old password, the user is prompted to clear or restore the session variables the next time the user logs in.

Before You Begin

To change the password of someone else's user account, you must belong to a user group that has write permissions on users and groups.

   See How to View User Accounts.

2. Type the new password in the New Password field.

3. Confirm the new password by typing it in the Confirm New Password field.

4. Click Save.
