Description:
How to hide the "Change Password" menu in Spotfire Web Player and Spotfire Analyst. Follow the steps to hide the "Change Password" menu in Web player and Analyst (Screenshot attached, Filename: Change_Password_Menu.JPG). Only the Spotfire Administrator can perform this change.

- On the Spotfire server machine, export the latest configuration from the database for the Spotfire server using the Configuration tool and save it as a configuration.xml file in the \\Spotfire_server_install_dir\tomcat\bin folder.
- In the configuration.xml file, make the <allow-user-password-modification>true</allow-user-password-modification> setting to 'false' and save this file.
- Import this configuration file back to the Spotfire DB using configuration tool and restart the Spotfire Server service.

Example:

In the configuration.xml file, change the <allow-user-password-modification>true</allow-user-password-modification> setting to 'false'.
----------------------------
<configuration>
…
<user-directory>
    …
    <allow-user-password-modification>true</allow-user-password-modification>
     …
</user-directory>
…
</configuration>
-------------------------

Note: Note that this configuration setting will also disable the "Change Password" option in the Administration Manager in the Spotfire Analyst. https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/6.5.2/doc/pdf/TIB_sfire_server_doc_ServerInstallationManual.pdf
