Starting
- You need to have system administrator privileges before you can configure or change operator passwords (i.e. the group to which you belong must be defined as a System administrator).
Solving
Why don't you drop us a line with some useful information we can add here?
Using
- To ensure that this program is used effectively, you should deny operators access to this program from within the Operator Groups program.
- To maximize the effective use of passwords, you can force operators to change their passwords at prescribed intervals as well as specify rules for defining passwords.
