Changing Administrator Passwords

Administrator passwords may be changed by an administrator with administrative password change capabilities assigned, or by the administrator-owner.

Administrators can change another administrator’s password using these forms:

• Change User Password form. There are two ways to open this form:

  • Click Accounts in the menu. The User List opens. Select an administrator and then, in the User Actions list, select Change Password. The Change User Password page opens.

  • Click Passwords in the menu. The Change User Password page opens.

• Tabbed User form. Click Accounts in the menu. The User List opens. Select an administrator, and then, in the User Actions menu, select Edit. The “Edit User” page (Tabbed User Form) opens. On the Identity form tab, type a new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

An administrator can change his own password from the Passwords area. Click Passwords in the menu, then click Change My Password.

The Identity Manager account policy applied to the account determines password limitations, such as password expiration, reset options, and notification selections. Additional password limitations may be set by password policies set on the administrator’s resources.
