Remarks
The NetUserSetInfo
function can be called to change a user's password only by users or
applications having administrative privileges. However, the password can be
changed by users or applications knowing the current password and calling NetUserChangePassword.
When an administrator calls NetUserSetInfo, the only restriction applied
is that the new password length must be consistent with system modals.
Members of
the Administrators local group can set any modifiable element. All users can
set the usri2_usr_comment, usri2_parms, and usri2_country_code, elements of the user_info_2 data structure for their own accounts. To do this,
the user must use the ParmNum
parameter and cannot pass the whole structure.
A member of
the Account Operator's local group cannot set details for an Administrators
class account, give an existing account Administrator privilege, or change the
operator privilege of any account. If attempting to change the privilege level
or disable the last account with Administrator privilege in the database, NetUserSetInfo
fails and returns NERR_LastAdmin.
You can call NetUserSetInfo
with USER_INFO_1
and specify a value using the usri1_name member. However, that value
will be ignored. The correct way to specify the new name of the group is to
call NetUserSetInfo with USER_INFO_0 and specify a value using the usri0_name
member.
The NetUserSetInfo
function cannot be used to change the home directory for user accounts that
were not created by the LAN Manager server.

function is successful, it returns NERR_SUCCESS.
