Properties for managing users

For global administrators, several managed properties are available to assist in managing your users.

The user management properties fall under the following categories:

Password security settings

DefaultPasswordReset

Specifies the default setting for what type of password changing restrictions are required when creating a new user (N for never needs changing, X for user cannot change password, M for user must change password the next time they login, and T for the user must change their password after DefaultPasswordReset days. If set to M, the setting will switch to either T or N when the student next logs in depending on whether DefaultPasswordReset is greater than zero days).
EncryptExistingPasswords When this is set to 1, passwords on existing users will be encrypted immediately.
MinPasswordLength Set the Password length. Default is 4 characters.
PasswordStrength

Set the password restrictions.

  • No restrictions
