Password Rules

Overview

When Administration Portal Single Sign-On is not enabled, administration user passwords are maintained within the Symbee Connect Administration Portal. For security and compliance, you can configure your administration user password strength requirements at a Company level using the Password Settings screen.

Password Settings

Your Company-level Password Settings are accessed within your Symbee Connect Administration Portal, from the Company Administration menu located on the left of the top navigation bar, under Security Settings.

Note: The Security Settings menu option and Password Settings view is only available to Administration Users with a Role of Administrator.

Like Administration Users, Password Settings are Region based. If you have Environments in multiple regions, access the Administration Portal in the appropriate region to view your Company Password Settings in that region.

The following configuration settings are available:

Minimum Password Length

Maximum Failed Login Attempts

Controls the number of failed login attempts before the user account becomes locked.

Password Expiry Days
