Password

By applying an administrative password in Comms, the admin user has editing access to all of the protected specification files for the Comms project. The permission lasts for the duration of your session. The protection resumes when you restart Bentley Communications.

Initiate the Password:

From the Bentley Communications menu, select Comms-Admin > Initiate.
The Setup Admin Password dialog box opens.
Enter a password into the password field. Use the Tab Key to move to the Confirm field to confirm the new password.
Enter the same password the second time in the Confirm field.
Click OK to confirm.

A password for this project is now enabled.

Note: The password is case sensitive and cannot contain any special characters.

Change the Password:

From the Bentley Communications menu, select Comms-Admin > Change.
The Change Password dialog box opens.
Enter the old password, the new password, and the new password again in the Confirm field.
Click OK to complete the change.

Activate the Password:

From the Bentley Communications menu, select Comms-Admin > Activate.
The Activate dialog box opens.
Enter the password and click OK to activate the password.

Note: When activated, all of the password-protected files and functions within the project are available for use without being prompted every time for a password.

Note: Be very careful when the password is activated. As an administrator, you can activate the system at any workstation, but for file security, deactivate the system when you leave the workstation.

Deactivate the Password:

From the Bentley Communications menu, select Comms-Admin > DeActivate.

Note: When deactivated, trying to access or modify a password protected file opens a window asking for a password.
