Re: [dspace-tech] How to change other user's password
Yes, now I see that a new button appears in the user's profile after this option is enabled and Tomcat restarted. The "Login as E-Person" button allows an administrator to view the user's profile and reset the password in the web interface. Thanks for pointing this out.

Re: [dspace-tech] How to change other user's password
Hi, this is already possible, if you have configured: webui.user.assumelogin = true Then an admin can assume the identity of any other non-admin user and reset the password in edit profile.

[dspace-tech] How to change other user's password
I would like to propose that a method for changing a user's DSpace password be added to the DSpace admin tools. I know it is possible to change a password using the "forgot password" link, but that requires access to the user's email. In addition, it requires access to the "forgot password" link, which does not show up when the system uses only Shibboleth authentication. In this case, a user that is actually a program signing into the Sword module might use DSpace password authentication, even though that option is not available on the web interface. So in order to get the "forgot password" link, an administrator must enable password auth and produce an authentication menu which might confuse a normal user. If the program's email address is a list serve group, the members of the group have to be notified in advance not to click on the "reset password" link in the upcoming email.
