Volume Password Expiry

KB076 – Set the Volume user password to expire after a set number of days

The Volume user password can be configured to expire after a set number of days. This is an optional setting which is switched off by default. Once enabled, this feature is applicable to all non-superuser Volume accounts. Superusers accounts are not affected by this option and will therefore not expire.

The password expiry feature is available from version 5.6.1.0 of Volume.

1

Select User Maintenance from the Users menu. User Maintenance will only be present if the current user is either a superuser or has permission to access User Maintenance.

2

Select the Global Config tab.

3

Tick the Enable Password Expiry option and specify the number of days that the password will expire after.

Select Save to confirm the changes.

4

When the password expires, the users will be asked to change their password. They will be prompted to do this when logging into Volume. The users will need to enter a new password and then confirm it by retyping it.
