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 and realm-management/view-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.

Changing a Password

To manage the user's credentials, go to the Users screen, and click on the user’s row. Alternatively, expand the user’s menu on the right and click Edit. Alternatively, click Reset password to go directly to the Password tab.

The same procedure applies to reset users' passwords and set passwords for new users.

Go to the Password tab.

Type in a new password in the Password and Password confirmation fields. Click the View icon on the right to preview the password. By design, the system requires that enhanced complex passwords be used (it applies to temporary passwords as well). See the Managing Password Policies page for more details.

Use the Temporary checkbox to decide if the password can be used once or multiple times:

• the box is checked – password can only be used once and the user will be asked to change their password after they have logged in

• the box is unchecked – the user will not be asked to change their password.

After entering the password for the first time, click the Set password button. If you previously set a password and now modify it, the Reset button is present instead. Click it to confirm the password change.
