        @dzung042 It depends on what other functions you want that user to have.
        If you want them to have the right to change only their own password,
        Add (only)->"WebCfg - System: User Password Manager"
        and if you want them to be able to change their own settings -> "WebCfg - System: User Settings"
        Any of the other "WebCfg - System: User XXXXXXX" settings will give them Adminstrator rights and they can change the Admin password (among other things).
