ADMIN: Username/Password Overview

Administrators control who has directory access by managing usernames and passwords.

To give a new member access to your directory, or help someone who forgot their password:

  1. Open the member profile
  2. Type the new username and/or password in the designated field
  3. Save your changes
  4. Contact the member and provide their username and password
  • Usernames must be unique and not assigned to another member.  Usernames are not case sensitive.
  • Passwords can be any word or combination of characters.  Passwords are case sensitive.
  • Members who can edit their profile can change their username/password.

The password field is blind to protect user privacy. Passwords are encrypted with 128-bit encryption algorithms and are never stored or viewed in plain text.   Admin cannot see a member’s password, but can reset it.

To take away someone’s access to the directory, simply clear their username field and click Save. Or delete their profile.
