Note: To use the password protected commands security feature, you need to define the PasswordReEnterErrorView and the PasswordReEnterFormView views for your store.
The Password Protected Commands node of the Configuration Manager enables or disables the password protected commands feature. When this feature is enabled, WebSphere Commerce requires registered users who are logged onto WebSphere Commerce to enter their password before continuing a request that runs designated WebSphere Commerce commands.
Caution: When you configure the password protected commands, some of the commands shown in the command selection list can be executed by generic or guest users. Configuring such commands as password protected will restrict generic and guest users from running them. Therefore, you should exercise caution when you configure commands to be password protected.
