Adding and Changing Passwords

Types of Passwords

Passwords can be added or changed on one of three levels:

Individual Password

An individual password is assigned to an individual user to allow access to the CA Dataquery system.

Group Password

A group password is assigned to members of a group.

System Password

A system password protects the CA Dataquery system from unauthorized access from any users who do not use the system password when signing on to CA Dataquery.

Which Password?

Only one of the three types of passwords accesses CA Dataquery. The highest level password is SYSTEM, the next highest level is GROUP and the lowest level password is the individual user password. The highest level password assigned is the only one that accesses the system.

All passwords are one to nine characters in length. The passwords are not displayed at any time. If a user forgets their individual password, assign a new password.
