In case of mismatch, the password change will be rejected.
If validated, a mail is sent to your email to inform ou of the password change.

Changing email​

When changing your email address, an email is sent to your (previous) email to warn you.

caution

Changing email address is not possible when connecting with LDAP.

Edit another user profile​

For operators​

Access to other users profile is possible for all users having any of these permissions:

  • Create users
  • Disable users
  • Regenerate passwords
  • Manage rights
  • Impersonate users

An operator may also open another user profile from the users list, by clicking on the 'head' icon.

Profile edition by operators is limited:

  • An operator with Generate password permission may regenerate your password manually, by replacing it with a random one.

  • Operators with Create users permission may only edit a profile when the user is in DRAFT (on creation).

  • Other operators cannot edit user personal profiles.

For system administrators​

System administrators may however edit other user profiles:

This way, they may:

  • Confirm manually the mail
    • When mail to confirm is checked, a mail is sent to the user with a link to validate his email before being able to connect
    • When unchecked, the user may connect straight
  • Change email
  • Change password (by specifying it), without giving the previous one 😉
  • Activate or not the ldap authentication
info

An administrator cannot change a password of a user connecting through LDAP.
But he can change the email used to authenticate on the LDAP (useful in case of email change inside the LDAP).
