Certain user options can be controlled through the User Settings function.

Password Settings

Check the box if users will be allowed to change passwords. See also Authentication/Single Sign-On considerations.

The password attributes, such as minimum length, can also be specified.

Check the box if users are to be given a "Forgotten Password" link on the logon page.

The link will allow a user to enter a User ID and, (subject to User ID validation), request a password reminder be sent to the user email address of record.

Note: The forgotten password function cannot be enabled if users are not allowed to change their own passwords.

Calendar Alerts

Check the box to enable the calendar alerts function. This will generate emails to the relevant users to remind them of specified due dates in standards, plans and projects.

An individual user can opt out of receiving alerts by clicking on the User details link.
