Hi ,

I have a created a role called "userrole" and have imported the default "user" role capabilities and added the "change_own_password" to the capabity.

i.e below is the sample

[role_userrole]
importRoles = user
change_own_password = enabled
cumulativeRTSrchJobsQuota = 0
cumulativeSrchJobsQuota = 0
search = enabled
srchIndexesAllowed = _internal,_audit
srchMaxTime = 0

Now i have created a user called "rakesh2" and assigned the above role "userrole" . Once logging with the below user "rakesh2" and clicking on the edit account to change the password.. its not all showing me any data.

i am getting the below screen ..

alt text

Can anyone suggest ..is this a bug in 6.1.2 or am i missing something ??

you should not need to add "change_own_password = enabled" and "search = enabled" as it is part the user role capabilities.

And i guess you added it manually in the conf file because it should not let you do so when doing it via the interface.

With the following it works for me:

[role_userrole]
cumulativeRTSrchJobsQuota = 0
cumulativeSrchJobsQuota = 0
importRoles = user
srchIndexesAllowed = *;_audit;_internal
srchMaxTime = 0
