How do I modify a user account?

Purpose

Use this procedure to make changes to local and remote user account parameters:

  • You can modify all aspects of a local user account, except for the username. You can also change a user’s password or compel the user to change their password.

  • You can modify select parameters on remote user accounts. You cannot change the username or password on a remote user account, nor can you compel a password change.
