The Change Username and Password tool allows administrators to change a user's username and password. This new password can entered manually by the administrator or auto-generated. The user can be sent an email with a login link, and a user activity note may added to the user's activity history.

Review the user's information to confirm that this is the user whose username or password you wish to change.

Notification
- Send User Login Link
-
Select 'Yes' if you would like to send the user an email notification of the change, including a login link.
Note
This email notification is based on the 'Password Changed Email' email template. To review and customize this email message, use the Manage Email Templates tool.
Important
It is generally recommended that the 'Yes' option be selected so that the user will be automatically informed of the change. If 'No' is selected, the administrator will need to take further action to communicate information about the new username and password to the user.
Add an Activity Note to this user's record for future reference. Once created, these notes cannot be edited, so they become a part of the User Activity History, which is only viewable through Admin Area Tools and Report Area Tools.
You've just changed this user's username or password (or both)! Click Change Another if you have another user whose username or password you would like to change.
