I found the place in party (user name edit). I would think that, for most internal (backoffice) user, this is not a place that the admin would want to allow access even to there own login. I would think that most users would NOT have access to the user login edit rights even if they can modify other "party" data and I would think that most internal users would not have general party edit rights (they might change party data via other interfaces that are more limited).
Am I missing something or is this just a place that has not been worked on in OfBiz much yet. I do note that in the "banner" at the top right there are two items that I would expect to be a part of the "users profile", time zone, and language. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:30:34 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Question -- How does a normal user change there own password??
