Change the Password or Expiration for a Role
Depending on the user ID that you use to connect to a Neoview system, HPDM determines if
you have the privileges to change the password or expiration information for a role. If you have
insufficient privileges, the [ Change Password ] button is not active.
Note that even if you have sufficient privileges, you can only change the password or expiration
information for the predefined roles:

An error message is generated if you try to make password changes to other roles. A user who
can change the password for a role can also change the password-expiration attributes, but HP
recommends against changing the password expiration. By default, the passwords of predefined
roles do not expire.
Whether a user ever needs to enter the role password in order to log on is determined by the
security policy. See
“Use the Power Role Management Tab for Security Policies” (page 122)
.
