User guide

• To force a user to define a new password during the next login, enable the User must
change password at next login checkbox.
• To prevent the user from changing the password, enable the User cannot change
password checkbox.
• To prevent a user’s password from expiring, enable the Click Password never expires
checkbox.
• To designate the account as a service account, enable the Service Account checkbox. A
service account cannot be used to log in to the DSView software. A service account
can be used to impersonate another user over the Web Services API or GUI Access
API. For more information, see the DSView software SDK online help.
NOTE: A service account may only be created if you are using the DSView software internal authentication service.
