Just had a user that could not, for whatever reason, log into our Observium installation. So, I was going to reset the password, but editing the user, found nothing there to do that. Seems that there is no way for anyone other than each user to edit passwords after the account is initially created? And if that user cannot log in, they cannot do it. I ended up deleting the login, recreating it, and then re-linking the devices, ports and bills the user has access to.
Did I miss something?

Nope, you ran into one of those things that is done so infrequently that no one has bothered implementing it in 6 years. We normally just set the password in MySQL!

Hi Adam,
It is not as infrequent as you might think and it would be a nice feature to have the users being able to recover (reset via email or alike) themselves.

Erik,
Adam's still correct though: I guess the people running into it so frequently were not bothered enough to implement it, still :-)

I can do it via sql, but some of our employees cannot. Will whip up a little php or shell script to do it.
Thanks - don't spend time on this right now - would rather ya got the billing working again! ;-)

Build 3272 - thanks for adding the password updating to the edit user page....
Chris
This looks good indeed..
Is the next step the recording of the user their email address and allow for password resets per email ?
