Changing 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.         Click Settings

The Settings page appears.

2.         In the Manage Users section, click Edit Users.

The Users page appears,

3.         Click the row menu (Row menu) for the user, and then click Edit. You can edit only users in the same login group as you.

The Edit User page appears.

4.         Click Change Password.

The Change Password page appears.

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, uppercase). There may be restrictions on the re-use of old passwords.

Note: To log into the application, the user's exact password must be entered in the correct case (upper, lower, or mixed).

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

7.         Click Change Password.

The password is updated.

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.
