Is there a way to allow users to change their password from a client? Haven’t been able to find a script or other method of doing this.

Thanks,

Jeff

You can manage users within Ignition if you use a [DB authentication profile](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/database_authentication_profil.htm), which stores user information in your database. In the [Extras section](http://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/extras) there is a Legacy FactoryPMI [window to manage users](http://inductiveautomation.com/?wicket:interface=:27:downloadsection:3:downloads:10:downloadfrag:link::ILinkListener::). The example was more for administrators to add/edit/delete users, but the same idea could be applied to allow users to change their own password.
