Password Management Checklist for Pirouette Administrators<\/h3>\n

Passwords play a critical role in data security.\u00a0 Use this 4-step checklist to manage Pirouette passwords easily and effectively.<\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nVerify that \u201cCreate and manage user accounts\u201d and \u201cReset passwords\u201d are both selected in the Permissions<\/strong> section of your own user account<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 This ensures that you can reset the password for all users.\u00a0 You will not<\/strong> be prompted to enter the old\/forgotten password first when you have “Reset passwords” selected in your own account<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong>
\nVerify that at least one backup staff also has both permissions mentioned in Step 1.\u00a0 This way, if you\u2019re not available to reset a password (or if you need to have your own password reset), another staff can do this.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong>
\nVerify that your Pirouette password policy under \u201cSystem Preferences\u201d reflects your organization\u2019s password policy regarding password strength requirements and password reset schedules.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong>
\nVerify that all staff know who the Pirouette Administrator is.\u00a0 Let staff know they need to contact the Pirouette Administrator or backup (not Roxy Software) for password resets and access issues.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>
