Summary:

There are two ways you can change a user's password. You can reset a user's password to a random
combination of letters and numbers by using the Send Reset Password Mail link, or you can manually change their password to something specific. User's may also be allowed to change their own passwords in their user profile page.

When you use the Send Reset Password Mail link to reset a user's password, the LMS sends the user a
notification email containing the new password. If a New Password Email template has been configured and specified for their organization, the LMS will send their organization-specific email notification instead.

When you manually change a user's password to something specific in the User Editor, the LMS does not
automatically send them an email with the new password. You must notify the user manually.

To send a new password notification email tailored for the user's organization, you can specify a New
Password Email template for their organization in Organization Maintenance. You can create a new email
template in the Email Template Editor, if required. Include the {reset_password} parameter in the email
template to include the new password in the email.

Your system role must have the Allow User Password Change Data Access Control permission set to Yes to
reset passwords in the Users page.
