Change User Password
- There are 2 ways of changing a user password, changing it from per user page and changing it from profile. Both ways have a different flow. Let's look into both ways.
- Lets start from Password Change from User Page: This process is how a user can change password of another user (if they ahev access to perform this action).
From the per user page click on the Actions dropdown and Reset User Password. - This process is intended for admins or anyone who has been given access to change user passwords. So it will need the user (who is performing change password action) to enter their password to proceed.
- Once the password is verified you can enter a new password for the respective user that follows the password policy.
- Steps for Password Change from Profile Section: This process is how a user can change their own password (if they ahev access to perform this action).
From the profile dropdown select change password. - If you are an admin then you will be asked to send a verification token to your registered email address.
Then you will be redirected to the password reset page. If you are not an admin, you will not require the verification token. - Enter the old password and a new password that follows the password policy.
Delete User
- Users can be deleted from Users and Groups Page as well as from User Details Page.
- From the Users and Groups Page: Here you can select the user that you want to delete.
(You can delete only 1 user at a time) - From the User Details Page: Another way is you click on the user you want to delete and that opens the User Details Page.
From there, you can click on the Actions and then Delete User.
