Setting a password

The password row sits with the rest of the form and is off until you enable it.

Password row

Set password

Nothing happens to the password unless Set password is ticked. Until then the text field, Generate, Copy and the reveal ey buttons are all disabled.

Control	Effect
Set password	Arms the row. Only then is a password sent.
Field	Masked. Type your own, or use Generate.
Reveal	Shows the value while you check it.
Copy	Copies the value even while masked, so you can paste it into a ticket or vault.
Generate	Fills the field with a fresh random password.

Generate

Generate builds a password from your password generator settings — length, character classes, and whether look-alike characters are excluded — using the platform’s cryptographic random source.

Caution

Copy the password before you save. The app never displays it again.

Execution

If the password is enabled, the Save changes sets it on every cluster in scope where the role exists, as part of that cluster’s transaction.

It runs through the Change password call template.

Final query is folded into each cluster’s transaction.
