# How do I set up a new officer in V3?

To setup a new Officer:

Type in the ID number for the new officer, this will fill out the First and Last Name fields. Give the officer a logon alias and initial password for ARMS, the password must be 8 characters long and have at least one number, upper case letter, lower case letter, and symbol ($!%#). Mark the user as Active and set the "Change Password Every" field according to your department policy.
