Altering a User Password
warning:
If you’re trying to set a password for an external user via the ALTER USER command, Dremio will return with an error message. Password changes may not be done from Dremio for external users.

Parameters
<username>

ALTER USER "user@dremio.com" SET PASSWORD 'password123'
ALTER USER "user@dremio.com" UNSET PASSWORD
Dropping a User
