Jacques,

Why has this been reclassified as a "subtask" instead of "bug"?

>  Basically, any user with PARTYMGR_CREATE/UPDATE  permissions can set the password of another user. This creates opportunity for  Malfeasance. For example, a customer service rep  could set the password of the admin user.
> A simple solution would be to create a new security permission PARTYMGR_PASSWD  and require that permission  for setting or changing password of a different user, instead of using PARTYMGR_UPDATE.  PARTYMGR_PASSWD  could then be associated with  the administrative user.
>  An alternative is to use the SECURITY_UPDATE  permission instead of PARTYMGR_UPDATE  or  a new PARTYMGR_PASSWD  permission.
