Administrative Rights

Q.
A while back, I remember reading about a way to give a special administrative user the ability to change another user's password, but at the same time, have no other supervisor rights. I checked out the NWAdmin utility, but I couldn't see anything obvious. I also couldn't find anything on Novell's Web site. Please help!

Dear Changing: This is quite simple, once you understand how this works. Try giving the user "Password Management" rights through the ConsoleOne utility. This will accomplish what you want to do--that is, giving another user the ability to change passwords without giving them rights to do whatever they want with the server.
