Personal Administration

Personal Administration lets you change passwords, secret questions, and e-mail addresses as often as you want. If the user password has expired, Personal Administration may display as the log-in page.

Personal Administration does not permit changes to user ID, user name, or the password expiration date. You are not permitted to view or change sensitive areas of information.

The specific components found on this screen are:

User ID. Unique ID of the user currently logged in.

User Name. Unique name of the user.

Password Expiration Date. Date the current password will expire. The length of time a password is valid is determined in System Control Maintenance.

Enter your old password. Verifies the current user and grants permission to proceed.

Enter your new password. User’s new password.

Confirm your new password. Used to check against typographical errors.

Enter your secret question. Used to verify user’s identity when they have forgotten their password.

Enter your secret answer. Works in conjunction with Enter your secret question.

Edit your email address if desired. Permits e-mail address updates.

Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions:

•Update saves the record to the database. Before saving, all required fields must be populated. The system verifies that the record is unique and compares the password to the existing record. When validated, a record is updated in the database. If validation fails, a message specific to the error is displayed and the record is not updated.

•Cancel returns to the index page without making any changes to the database.
