Hello everyone! 👋

We're using Ignition 8.1 Vision and I would like to ask, if there's a way for end users to change their own passwords directly within the application. IT policy requires passwords to be updated every 6 months, so we'd like to enable users to do this themselves without needing admin intervention. Authentication type is internal, not . Active Directory.

Best regards,

Tadeja

For internal user sources, there are many gateway scripting functions that will work. This Exchange Resource might be all you need:

I see it’s tagged as vision. If that is the case the user management component can do it in ‘Current User’ mode.
