---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: REGISTRY-175
                 URL: http://wso2.org/jira/browse/REGISTRY-175
             Project: WSO2 Registry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: UI
         Environment: Ubuntu 7.10, JDK 1.5.0_08, tomcat 6.0.14, Firefox/2.0.0.8
            Reporter: Krishantha Samaraweera
         Assigned To: Chanaka Jayasena


How to recrete:

1. load the site as anonymous user.
2. go to "add user to role" page by clicking "anonymous" user.
3. now try to edit password field.

NullPointerException will be occurred and page will get unaligned. So it is better to restrict anonymous user to edit password or friendly name.

Pls refer to attached image.

Exception.
