Change user passwords

Note:

This procedure does not apply for single sign-on environments. You must use the single sign-on application to change or reset user passwords.

If you have the Administer Users permission, you can change the passwords of other users in your login group.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon (Settings icon).
  2. In the Manage Users section, click Edit Users.
  3. Click the user's Row Action menu (Row Action menu icon), and then click Edit. You can edit only users in the same login group as you.
  4. Click Change Password.
  5. In the New Password field, type a new password.

    The site administrator sets the required password length and the types of characters allowed (alphabetic, numeric, non-alphanumeric, lowercase, and uppercase). There may be restrictions on the re-use of old passwords.

  6. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the same password.
  7. Click Change Password.

    The password expiration period, if one has been set as a site option, begins for the new password. The next time the user logs in, the user must use the new password.
