Not Able to Change Attributes Added by Other Users

Q - Users other than the user who created an attribute cannot modify the attribute. How do I make it accessible to other users?

A - By default, Elliott only allows the owner who created the attribute to modify or delete the attribute.  If you wish to change that, you can go to Password Setup -> Global Security -> Global Default Security.  On the first screen, change the flag 3 and 4.  See the following sample screen:



You can customize this default setting on a user-by-user basis by going to Password Setup -> Global Security -> User Global Security.
