Resetting passwords for technicians and requesters

Resetting passwords for technicians and requesters

      In recent builds, the option to reset passwords directly from the login details while editing a technician or requester is no longer available. Instead, password resets can be performed using the following methods, applicable from build 14201 for both technicians and requesters.

Table of contents:
  1. Through email
  2. Through SDAdmin UI
  3. Through User UI
  4. Through the forgot password option

Through email:

To reset a user's password via email:

1. Select the desired user from the list.
2. Click on "Actions."
3. Choose "Send Password Reset Link".



An email will be sent to the user containing a password reset link, which they can use to set a new password.

Through SDAdmin UI:

To reset a user's password through the SDAdmin UI:

1. Edit the specific user's details.
2. Click "Yes" beside the "Remove Login" option to remove the user's login under the login details.
3. Re-add the login with a new password.

Through User UI:

If the user is still able to access the application, they can change their password directly:

1. Click on the Profile Icon.
2. Choose "Change Password".




Through forgot password option:

If a user has forgotten their password:
  1. On the login page, click the "Forgot Password" option.
  2. Enter the login name on the subsequent page.
  3. A password reset link will be sent to the user's email.
Choose the most suitable option based on the user's current access and needs.
