Changing Your Security Access

If you have several responsibilities and you want to work in Oracle
Applications under a different responsibility, you can do so without
exiting Oracle Applications.
You can also change the password to your user sign–on at any time.
Your system administrator may require all users to periodically change
their passwords to maintain better security to Oracle Applications.
 To switch your responsibility:
1. Click in the Navigate window or choose Navigator from the
Window menu to make the Navigate window active.
2. Choose Switch Responsibility from the File menu.
If there are windows still open in your current responsibility,
Oracle Applications asks you to save your changes, if there are any,
before it closes those windows. You may cancel switching
responsibilities by choosing Cancel in the save changes window.
Note: The save changes window only appears if there are any
changes to save. If there are no changes to save, all open windows
other than the Navigate window close, and Oracle Applications
displays your responsibility list.
Note: If you have only one responsibility, the Switch Responsibility
menu item is disabled.
3. Select a new responsibility from the Responsibilities window and
choose OK.
The Navigate window title and contents then update to reflect the
new responsibility you chose.
 To change your password:
1. Click in the Navigate window or choose Navigator from the
Window menu to make the Navigate window active.
2. Choose Change Password... from the Edit, Preferences menu, to
display the Password Update window.



3. Enter your old password in the Old Password field.
4. Enter your new password in the New Password field.
5. Enter your new password again in the Re–enter New Password
field.
6. Choose OK.
If the second entry of your new password does not match your
first, Oracle Applications asks you to re–enter your new password
again, until both entries match. Your new password takes effect
immediately.
Note: If you change your mind and do not want to alter your
password, choose Cancel to close the Password Update window.
