Access to CERF is restricted to authorized individuals and is controlled by unique logins (usernames and passwords), which are authenticated at the time of login. Your system administrator assigns a username and password (See Note below about Organizational Specifications). You may change your password at any time: select Sessions > Manage Account. Your new password must adhere to the rules set in your business policy for minimum length, minimum alpha and numeric (ask your System Admin for details).
Access to CERF Resources is controlled by role-based privileges. You have an assigned Public Access Role for all Resources that are public; and you have assigned Workgroup Access Roles for each Workgroup to which you belong. To find out your access role for any Resource, select the Resource in the Document Tree and look at the Status pane in the Info panel (right-most panel in CERF) or in the Resource Info dialog.
Organizational Specification Notes
Your CERF system administrator may have configured alternative settings for the CERF login module that may differ from the default installation.
You may be required to change your password the first time you log into CERF (default setting), however your system administrator can alter this setting to not be required.
If your installation is utilizing the CERF Authentication module, then you will be able to change your password anytime using the menu option Sessions > Manage Account. However, if your installation is configured to utilize your organizations authentication servers, your username and password will be governed by the same requirements used to log into your computer system on the Network. In this case, the Sessions > Manage Account feature will have no affect and you will need to contact your system administrator for Password Management assistance.
