fix

Currently DRA does not have the ability to hide or make fields on property pages unavilable to Assistant Admins (AA).  An enhancement request has been opened with development to consider adding this feature in a future release of the product.

As a workaround, you can create a custom power that excludes the capability to modify the property in question and assign the custom power to an Assistant Admin. The Assistant Admin would still be able to see the property in DRA but it would disabled so they could not modify it.

To create a custom power that does not include the "PasswordRequired" property, perform the following steps:

1. Launch the Delegation and Configuration console as a DRA admin.
2. Navigate to Delegation Management and select Powers.
3. On the Tasks menu, click New Power.
4. Click Next.
5. Make sure Object type is set to "User" and Action is set to "Sets the properties of a user," and then click Next.
6. On the Specify Object Properties screen, select Include only listed properties, and then click Add.
7. Click Find Now.
8. Select one of the properties in the results list.
9. Type Ctrl+A to select the entire list of properties.
10. Type Ctrl+click to clear the selection of the PasswordRequired property.
11. Click Add to add the selected powers to the new custom power, and then click OK.
12. Click Next.
13. Name the custom power, and then click Finish.

If you give an Assistant Admin the new custom power, then that Assistant Admin will not be able to modify the PasswordRequired property.
