Force password reset

As an N-sight RMM administrator, you can force users to reset their password immediately or the next time they login. For example, you may have a security situation that requires immediate password changes, or you may be manually enforcing a password expiration policy.

Users can edit their own accounts to Edit your user details, email and password.

Prerequisites

  • To force a password reset for users, you must be signed into N-sight RMM using an Agent Key, a Superuser role, or a user with the Users permissions enabled.
