> #### Changing passwords and descriptions

> Whether you are an administrator or an operator, you can change your own unique password and/or your description from the Authorized Users page at any time. Administrators can edit anyone's password or description; operators are restricted to editing only their own password and description.

> If an administrator changes a user's password, that user is presented with a login screen when next accessing Fathom. When the user provides the correct password, the user can resume working in Fathom. If, however, the user does not enter the correct password, the user's login fails and access to Fathom is denied.

> To change the password and/or description:

> 1. Click the name of the user whose properties you want to change from the users listed on the Authorized Users page. The User page appears:

> 2. Click Edit or Copy to either edit the user details or copy them as the basis for another user. If you copy the details, you must change the user name, since duplicate user names are not allowed.
> Note: If you change the password by entering the new password once in the Password field, you must also enter it again in the Confirm Password field.

> 3. Click Save. The User page redisplays, showing any changes that you might have made to the user name or description details.
