Whether you are an administrator or an operator, you can change your own unique password or your description from the Authorized Users page. Administrators can edit the password or description of any user, but operators are restricted to editing only their own password and description.

If an administrator changes a user password, that user is presented with a login screen when next accessing OpenEdge Management. When the user provides the correct password, the user can resume working. However, if the user does not enter the correct password, the user login process fails and access is denied.

To change the password or description:

  1. From the users listed on the Authorized Users page, click the name of the user whose properties you want to change. The User page appears.
  2. Click Edit to edit the user details. The User: <user name> page appears.
    If required, you can make changes in the Description field and also change your selection in the Role list.
  3. Select the Change password? check box to change the password. The fields required to change the password are enabled.
  4. Enter your current password in the Enter your password field.
  5. Enter the new password once in the Password field, and then again in the Confirm Password field.
  6. Click Save.
    If the Enter your password field is left empty or if your current password is incorrect, you receive an error message.

    The User page reappears, showing any changes that you might have made to the user name or description details.or Copy to either edit the user details or copy them as details for another user. If you copy the details, then you must change the user name, because duplicate user names are not allowed.
