Change a non-federated user's password
A non-federated user is a user who was manually created in File Analysis Suite. As an administrator, you can edit the password for non-federated users whose profile includes the option to allow password changes. You can specify whether to define a new password or have a new password automatically generated, and whether to require the password be changed upon next login.
If logged into any of the File Analysis Suite UIs as a non-federated user, you may have the option to change the password for the account you are logged in as.
