User`s guide

Modify a User
After a user is created, you can change the password for the user by using the Modify User feature of the
application. You can modify the password of only a Local user.
You must have the Super User role or the Administrator role to perform this task. If you have the Administrator
role, then you can reset the password for only the users that you have created.
The password for an LDAP user, LDAP group, or vCenter Server user cannot be reset from vCenter
Chargeback.

Assign a Role to a User on vCenter Chargeback
The role assigned to the user on vCenter Chargeback defines the actions that the user can perform in the
application. A user must have a role assigned to him on vCenter Chargeback or on the resource defined in the
application to enable him to perform some actions in the application.
When you create a user, no roles or permissions are assigned to it by default. You can assign the Super User
role or the Administrator role when creating the user. Alternately, you can assign a role to the user after creating
the user.
