deleted and the
User name and User role fields cannot be modified.
● Manage users only displays in the user management menu for the default Administrator user profile and
user roles that have been granted access to add, edit and delete user profiles.

Managing password security
To help ensure a secure operating environment, use the following password recommendations when adding
user profiles:
● Create unique usernames/passwords for each user.
● Do not create a common username/password to be shared by all employees.
● Require that passwords be changed at regular intervals, such as every 45 days.
● Do not allow users to write their password on a piece of paper and attach it to their monitor or leave it where
it can be easily found.
● Remove user accounts for individuals who no longer require access or no longer work at the facility.
● Require that users create a robust/complex password.
– Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and special characters.
– Use a minimum of 8 characters for a user account and a minimum of 12 characters for privileged
accounts.
● User profile passwords cannot be reset. If access is locked by failed login attempts, you must delete and re-
add the user profile.
