RE: SST password levels

Interesting thought on the operators using SST. I've always been in larger companies where if this was needed, an admin would have been paged.

Circling back to the original answer...

==> Unless you have multiple users with different levels of authority, such as an operator vs. administrator, no really worry.

What difference would the different levels of authority have on whether password was set at level 1 or level 2. Isn't the password level about how passwords are stored and their characters and length? What else did I miss in my research?

Change it and get everyone to change the password for that user profile.

Yes, it should be 2. Most auditors don’t know DST/SST exists, but for those that do, they will require it.
