Change password

Changes the password for the specified user.

If you reset a user's password, Tenable Vulnerability Management automatically resets the user's login_fail_count and lockout attributes to 0. If you specify that the password is temporary, the user will be forced to reset their password upon next login.

Requires the Administrator [64] user role. See Roles.
