Changing Passwords for Users
Note that this procedure applies only to local users added from within User Management. Users imported from external systems (for example from a UCCE server) should have their password managed there.
The realm-management/manage-users

effective roles are necessary to be able to change passwords for other users. Only the eleveo.admin user owns these effective roles by default.
