Modified: 11-May-2016   


Applies To

  • ThingWorx Platform 6.5
  • Issue found in 6.5 and 7.1

Description

  • Users have default visibility over themselves and can change their own passwords in ThingWorx Composer regardless of what permissions are set
  • Specifically disallowing access to ChangePassword service under Runtime Permissions on User does not prevent password reset via REST API
