Changing a user's password

As a Tenant User Manager it is possible to change the password of users within your tenant.

1. Access the Manage login page for the users by doing either for the following:
   • From the list of users: When viewing the list of users you can click the padlock icon () alongside a user's name to change their password.
   • From the user's profile: Click the Manage user login link in the Administration section of the user's profile.
2. When on the Manage login page in the Action section at the bottom of the page select Change password. 
3. Enter a new password and click Update. 

If the user is locked out of the site then you will also see the option in the Action section to Generate password and notify user.
