Unable to change password for roles in VC 2.5 Server ?

We have created 2 roles in VC Server - 1 adminsitrator and 1 read-only.

We would like to change the password of these 2 accounts. However, under administration, we can only choose "Add" or "Clone" while the others ("Rename", "Remove" and "Edit Role") are dimmed.

Is there any suggestion ?

Thanks

These roles are built in and not editable.

If you added users to these roles you would need to change the user password where the user is defined. Some have this user defined on the ESX server itself and some in AD or NIS.

If the user in this role comes from the ESX server you can point the VC client at the ESX box and edit the password there or from the console with passwd.
