Introduction

If you are a user with an administrator or manager role, you can trigger a password reset email for other users in your company.

When this is done, a reset email is sent to the email address for the user, containing a reset link. Password reset links are valid for 24 hours. After this, another password reset must be triggered so a new link is emailed.
