Our Sales Engineering department published an Exchange resource you can use for this: > **[Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2128/overview)** > > Discover, share, and download community made Ignition resources in collaboration with your organization or the Ignition community. ---

Awesome, thank you. I didn’t think to look there. ---

Just checking if there's any update. Coworker using 8.1.26 perspective, he was setting up a user management view, I told him to just user the User Management component (as I am used to Vision) but was surprised there wasn't one by default in the component pallet and that you need to download a module for it. ---

Curious, what's wrong with using the exchange resource? ---

Nothing, I was just confused when I went to assist my coworker I told him to look for a user management component (as I am used to in Vision) so I was just a bit surprised you needed to download this separately for perspective. TBH it was only surprising to me because of the high standards IA have set for themselves lol. ---

I can think of a few reasons motivation is low to implement it as an integrated component. - User management is an Ignition _user source_ concept, not an _IdP_ concept. Anyone using an off the shelf IdP is not going to be able to take advantage, and possibly be confused by the distinction. - Perspective development resources (as in developers) are tasked with "higher priority" features such as drawing tools. Things that _can't_ be implemented with Exchange resources, which leads into: - The Exchange resource is good enough. ---

Hi, I'm using the exchange user Management tool, and it works fine However, I have some Password policies such as the password min length and complexity, and it doesn't seem to honor that. I've set these policies in my internal user source which I have linked to my Ignition type identity provider. maybe I'm missing something? Thanks! ---

Bump. I am using the Exchange project for password management. It appears that the user will not update if the password does not meet the password policy. But no indication shows up. Page closes and no change is applied (or a new user is not added). I also could not find in the logs feedback that no change occurred. Is there a way to pull the password policy and use that to post a warning the password does not meet it? EDIT: Added code to check password policy is met. ---

I have added code to check the password policy. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/f/7f2409928f90042803b0c53601630017112f55bf.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/4/1450c134248b4257c781f8a5f6c6ad686f6e67c6.png) Is there a way to expose "Password Min Length" and "Password Complexity"? In case the customer wants to make a change, say 12 characters instead of 8. The number 8 is hardcoded in my script. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/7/4743d9813729b2fb5339a9c992c033b180fd040a.png) [Previous page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-14054-user-management/21600.md?page=1)
