What to do next
The role assigned to the group defines the permission that the group has in the application. You must, however,
assign roles to the group on the individual resources for granting access on those resources.
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
Manager.

1 In the Users & Roles tab, click Users.
A table listing all the users created in the application is displayed.
2 Select the required user name and click Edit.
The Edit User Account screen is displayed.

The password must contains at least 8 characters and should not exceed 24 characters in length. The
password cannot be same as the user name. Also, the password must be alphanumeric and include a
combination of upper-case and lower-case characters and contain at least a numeral.
Delete User
You can remove invalid or unused users from the application. However, you cannot delete the user that is
created during installation.
