Assigning passwords

---

The administrator can change a user's login password, as can the user. Only the administrator can add, remove or modify the login names for users and add or remove users from the subadministrators group. While subadministrators can add provider records, only the administrator can enter a login name for them or assign their first password. To add a new user, the administrator should select the New button on the Provider List form.

The administrator will need to enter a first name and last name. A login name also must be entered if the provider is to be given login privileges or be added to the subadministrators group. Upon saving a new provider record, the administrator will be asked to assign a login password. Granting of all other database privileges can be left to a subadministrator with the exception of the subadministrator's group privilege. The administrator can designate a provider as a subadministrator by selecting Sub Admin on the Provider form.

To permanently remove login privileges for a user, the administrator should delete the user's provider record. As a temporary measure, the administrator can change the user's password.
