Hello! I would like to know if perspective project users with perspective IdP can change their own password somehow or just the administrator can do it? Thanks. ---

What are you using to edit passwords, this exchange resource perhaps? > **[Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2243/overview)** > > Discover, share, and download community made Ignition resources in collaboration with your organization or the Ignition community. ---

> [@Alejandro\_Alaco](#): > > perspective IdP That's pretty broad. If you are using an external IdP, no chance. If you are using Ignition's IdP with an **internal** user source, then yes. Other combinations, like Active Directory user sources, generally not. ---

I using internal IdP. So I guess you can´t edit passwords from the gateway. Just using the Perspective User Management resource? ---

Based on what you state you are using, you can use both. But you normally wouldn't want typical users in the gateway, would you? I don't think the exchange resource has any security baked in, meaning anyone can edit users. So, it's up to you to control who can access. ---

Yes, it would be enough to edit the passwords from the gateway by the administrator, but right now I think I can´t do this. ---

Why do you think you can't, have you tried? ---

Hello @jlandwerlen, On the trial version I´m using until we aply the license I can´t edit the passwords of the users once they are created. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/c/1c40051407163b30d515e16e8327cb6628d8af66.png) Cheers. ---
