How do I reset a password for a colleague in agentOS?
Any owner/client administrator level staff member can reset passwords for colleagues through Settings > Staff, where they can create a temporary password meeting security requirements (minimum 8 characters including one capital letter, one number, and one symbol).
If you need to reset a password for a colleague or staff member in agentOS, any owner/client administrator level staff member at your agency can process this request.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Access Settings
- Click on the person icon at the top right of your dashboard
- Choose "Settings" from the dropdown menu
- Navigate to Staff List
- Select "Staff" in the settings tab to display the list of all staff members
- Locate the Staff Member
- Use the filter in the left-hand ladder to search for the specific staff member, OR
- Locate them directly from the list displayed on the page
- Reset the Password
- Click on the actions button to the right-hand side of their line
- Select "Reset Password"
- Create a Temporary Password
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and include:
- At least one capital letter
- At least one number
- At least one symbol (such as ,.?!@-)
- An ideal example would be: Password.1
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and include:
- Provide the Password to Your Colleague
- Share this temporary password with your colleague so they can log in
- Important: The "current password" you're prompted for is YOUR password (the administrator creating the reset)
- The "new password" will be the temporary password you create for your colleague
- User Creates Their Own Permanent Password
- Once logged in, your colleague can change this temporary password to their own permanent password
- Their new password must also be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital letter, one number, and one symbol
Self-Service Password Resets with Single Sign-On (SSO)
agentOS now offers Single Sign-On (SSO), which allows users to reset their own passwords without administrator assistance.
We recommend setting up SSO for all staff members to:
- Reduce administrative workload
- Improve security
- Enable self-service password resets
For more information about setting up and using SSO, please see our dedicated Single Sign-On article.
