I created an example in the attached view: [view.json](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/nw4owOU2ZBhgkmc8EGSlAvbeEgG.json) (7.1 KB) Take a look at the “Change Password” button’s onClick event script ---

Thanks, that works great. I made some changes so it gets current user so they can only change there password and added a transform so the validation reads “credentials validated” not “true”. ---

How do you import the view that @jspecht provided (view.json)? I keep getting “The project file chosen could not be imported” errors. ---

You might have already found an answer to this by now but just in case (or anyone else who stumbles on this), if you copy the JSON text in that file and then `Shift + Right-Click` on a view in the Project Browser, it gives you the option to `Paste JSON`. Note that this will overwrite anything you have in the view that you are pasting into. ---

Also, > [@\[Feature-14054\] User Management](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-14054-user-management/21600/20): > > I believe when we have system.user library making a component for user mangement is not good idea. Specially when there are many feature left to add like drawing tools, … Even when considering custom project theme it is much better to make it by project designer. Personally I have hard time to mach vision user mangement component with my project like and feels. ---

For anyone wondering, this method does honor the password policy set on the gateway unlike the User Management resource from the exchange.
