Once you add a user, you can:
Password Self-Management
The Password Self-Management feature lets you allow users to reset their own passwords securely through their emails. You may enable this feature by contacting ServiceChannel.
Once the feature is enabled, you may easily turn the feature on for individual users in your company by checking the box next to Password Self Management in the General Info tab.
In other instances where multiple users, such as location users, may share a single account, you can add and manage passwords for those accounts by disabling the Password Self-Management option. While users associated with such an account cannot reset the account password, they can contact an Admin user and retrieve the password.
