Updating a user

About this task

All users can update their own user IDs. To update other users, the logon user must be a user with administrator permission for the user, a User Administrator, or a System Administrator. A user with Create Users authority can update users that they created, so long as they remain an administrator for the user. A User Administrator can update Users and User Administrators. Note: On IBM® i, each user must change their own password. (Administrators are not permitted to change another user's password.)
