Security - Edit Account

The Edit Accounts link is used to change the password or to change the access rights for an account. When selected, the Accounts page is displayed with a drop-down list containing all the existing accounts. This list is used to select the account that is to be modified.

To change the password for the currently selected account, enter the new password in the Password field. Then enter the new password a second time in the Re-Enter Password field to ensure that it has been typed correctly. The password is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as originally typed each time. Pressing the Modify Account button changes the password for the account. If the password fields are blank, the most recently accepted password is retained.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: If the password to the sysadmin account is changed, record the password in a safe place to avoid problems in accessing and modifying receiver settings at a later date.

To change the access rights, check, or remove the check, from one or more of the following checkboxes:

Pressing the Modify button applies the access rights changes to the account.

The Reset Form button is used to clear all the fields and set them to their most recent accepted state for that account and start over again.

The Cancel button is used to leave the page and return to the Accounts summary page without applying any changes to the selected account. The account settings remain in their most recent accepted state for that account.

The Delete Account button is used to remove the account from the system.
