SSO

Change Password option is not displayed for SSO only users

Tip

Benefit: With this feature implemented, a developer can get data that allows them to implement different DSP features such as transitions of the work items from DSP.

Description: When DSP creates a new Work Item or loads an existing Work Item, it populates the Work Item ID in $scope.wizardState.$workItem.id, and Work Item Tasks in $scope.wizardState.$workItem.tasks[].
