Update existing private password list settings

[MikeC]

Hi,

 

We enabled the setting Administration / System Settings / Password List Options / "When a new User Account is added to Passwordstate, automatically create a Private Password List for the user" and added users to our system. Unfortunately we didn't realize that those lists wouldn't be connected to a template. We've setup a User Account Policy to link any private password lists created in the future to a template, however we haven't been able to find a way to modify the existing private password lists.

 

Is there a way to administratively modify the settings on the private password lists created as part of adding a user to the system? (Some of the out of the box settings like prohibiting weak passwords are causing problems for users adding existing credentials to the system and we'd like to disable those settings.)

Hi MikeC,

 

Sorry, but there is no way Administrator's can modify user's Private Password Lists - this is by design for security reasons.

 

Could you instead send your users a quick email, showing how to modify the settings i.e. from the 'List Adminstrators Actions' drop down list, then 'Edit Password List Properties'? It should only take each user less than one minute to make these changes.

OK thank you. For users that we add in the future, is there a way to have the automatically created private password list linked to a template?

Hi Mike,

 

Yes, you can use the User Account Policy that you mentioned above. Make sure that permissions are applied for 'All Users & Security Groups', and that the appropriate template is selected, the the Link option is checked.
