Usage Scenario: Administrator Intervention After a Forgotten Password

In a logistics application, truck drivers sometimes forget their passwords. Since the “ForgotPassword” process uses a custom provider, it does not come into play, and the user cannot reset their password. In this case, the administrator can define a new password for the driver using the User Password Force Change action.

Forcing the User Password to be Changed by the Admin

  1. Open the UI Design module and drag and drop a Button element from the Elements panel on the left.
  2. In the Properties panel, enter a phrase such as “Reset Password” in the button's Label section.
  3. Select the relevant button and add the OnClick → Authorization → User Password Force Change action from the + ADD ACTION menu.

Configuring the User Password Force Change Action

  • UserName: mary.watson@kuika.com (Name/email address of the user whose password will be changed. Can also be obtained dynamically from the form.)
  • Password: NewPass#2025 (The new password to be set for the user. It must comply with security policies.)

How it works

With this configuration, when the administrator clicks the “Reset Password” button, the user's password in the system is changed immediately. The user can log in to the system with this new password that is sent to them.
