After records are imported into Blackbaud NetCommunity, users can change their user name and passwords only in Blackbaud NetCommunity. The User ID and Password fields on the Bio 2 tab of The Education Edge are disabled and users can no longer change their user names and passwords in NetClassroom or Faculty Access for the Web.
When a user updates his user name or password in Blackbaud NetCommunity, this change is made automatically to the user’s record in The Education Edge, as well as NetClassroom and Faculty Access for the Web, if applicable. If the user attempts to change his user name to one that already exists in The Education Edge, he receives a message saying that user name is already taken and he must choose another.
If you selected the Require complex passwords checkbox on the Settings tab in Administration, you must enter a complex password when you add a user or change a user’s password. However, you can successfully import records from NetClassroom or Faculty Access for the Web that do not meet Blackbaud NetCommunity’s password complexity requirements. When you change the user’s password, you will be prompted to meet the complexity rules. To be clear, when a user password is changed, Blackbaud NetCommunity uses the password requirements set in Administration, not those from Faculty Access for the Web or NetClassroom.
For more information about complex passwords, see Registration and login options settings.
