Resetting Another User’s Password
Overview | How to Do It | Additional Notes
Overview
Anyone with the “Edit Users” permission can reset another user’s password, so long as that user has requested to reset their password.
Someone with the “Edit User” permission can request the password reset too. All they have to do is open a session-less tab, enter the user's email address and click "I forgot my password".
How to Do It
Navigate to Product > Settings > Users and select the user whose password you wish to reset.
Copy the link address for “Reset password link” under the user’s name (if you don’t see this link and you have the “Edit Users” permission, that means they haven’t requested a password reset).
Open a browser window that doesn’t currently have an active Coursedog session.
Paste the link into the address bar.
Input a new password.
Confirm new password.
Click “Change password”.
Additional Notes
If preferred, you can send the “reset password link” to the user, for them to reset the password themselves.
If you reset the password for a user, they can change that password at any time via Account Settings (instructions below).
