Hi Alex, Ambari can be configured to use a built-in local user store (default) or an external LDAP server (including ActiveDirectory), which can be managed outside of Ambari. Unfortunately the built-in user store is a bit simplistic in that only Admins can change the password on behalf of the non-admin user as you mentioned. The API currently prevents non-admin users from invoking any write operations, including changing their own password, so there is not a good way to do this via the API for now.
