===== Security Edit User =====
The Security User general edit page allows users to edit the information for the selected User.  Once changes are made the user can click the **Save** button in the bottom right hand corner to commit changes to the database.  Note: User permissions might be restricted by [[security_edit_forms|Form permissions]] or the record being [[concepts#Record Locking|locked]].

==== Setting Password ====
Click the **Set Password** button.  

{{:securityeditusergeneralpasswordbutton.png?600|}}

This will open a Set Password dialog.

{{:securityeditusergeneralpassword.png?600|}}

Enter a password.  Note: the password must be at least 6 characters, and must contain 1 lower case letter, 1 uppercase letter and 1 number.  Click **Save** when done.  Note: this only saves the password change, not any other changes to the user.

Note: for Windows Authentication based login passwords are not required. See [[concepts#Authentication Modes|Authentication Modes]].

==== Tab Strip ====
The tab strip at the top of the page allows the user to go back to the Security User grid [[security_entry_user|Selection]], to the [[security_edit_user_Banks|Banks]] page, to the [[security_edit_Forms|Forms]] page, or [[security_edit_roles|Roles]] page.
