Description Frank Schönheit 2006-08-22 14:53:39 UTC 
A relatively common task when working with a database which requires
authentication (say, MySQL) is that one might want to change the own password.

Currently, this is only possible if the user has privileges to administrate
users. That is, the password can only be changed in the "User Administration"
dialog, which is unavailable to mere mortal users.

We should separate, in both API and UI, the feature of user administration and
password change. This way, unprivileged users would still be able to change
their own password.

ENHANCEMENT, not DEFECT
