Modifying Users and Passwords

While a user's login name cannot be modified, their full name and initials can. You would need to do this, for example, if a user's last name changed.

Updating a user

  1. Click Administrator > User Configuration from the LDMS menu bar.

  2. Select the user to modify from the User ID drop-down list.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To update the user's full name or initials, click the button.

    • To delete the user's account, click the button.

    • To change the user's password without the current password, click the button (requires system administrator capabilities).

    • To prevent the user from logging in without deleting the account, click the button (requires system administrator capabilities).

      Note:

      The message entered when locking out a user will be displayed if that user attempts to log in.

    • To change the user's password when you know the current password, click the button.

  4. Click the button from the LDMS toolbar.

Tip:

If you want to allow users to change their own passwords without being able to make any other user account changes, give them view access to User Configuration. They will only be able to access the button for their own account.
