As a WorkStation administrator, you can change users’ passwords, force users to change their passwords at next logon, or enable and disable the possibility for users to change their passwords.

Passwords are managed at the user account group level. Building Operation applies password changes to all user accounts that belong to the user account group.

Note:

  • If you are an administrator and have forgotten your password, contact the Building Operation support team.
