Overriding passwords

Product administrators can override passwords on member managed systems with a specified value. Product administrators must have the "Create managed systems" administrative privilege, and belong to a user group with the following permissions on a given managed system policy :

  • View properties for this policy

  • Modify properties for this policy

  • Randomize/override password of managed accounts

To override a password:

  1. Navigate to the Managed accounts page.

  2. Select 2101.png the account whose password you want to override.

    Bravura Privilege displays the Managed account page.

  3. Type the new password in the Override password field. Re-type it to confirm it.

    The new password must satisfy the password policy rules displayed on the page.

  4. Click Override.

When you override a push mode managed system account password, the change takes effect immediately. Overriding a local service mode managed system account password takes effect at the next poll interval.

Users who belong to a user group with permission to override passwords can do this after checking out a password.

You cannot manually override a password on a managed system within 15 minutes (900 seconds) of a regularly scheduled password change. This is to prevent conflicts with the password change mechanism.
