Managing user profiles

The default Administrator user profile cannot be deleted and the User name and User role fields cannot be modified.

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, such as under the keyboard.
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.

A new profile with a password that does not meet these requirements will not be created. Password strength is indicated by a green line in the password field. Only passwords that display a green line are acceptable. You must enter your current password to create a new password.
