User Accounts for Password Reset: Allow Users to Set Passwords

User Accounts
Administrators can delegate, via user permission, the task of resetting local users' passwords and locked user accounts to privileged users, without also granting full administrator permissions. Local users may continue to reset their own passwords.
Administrators with the Allowed to Set Passwords permission will see no difference in the user interface.
When a privileged non-administrative user navigates to the Users & Security > Users page in the administrative /login interface, they will see a limited-view User Accounts screen containing Change Password buttons for non-administrative users. The privileged user will not be able to edit or delete user accounts. Privileged users are not allowed to reset administrator passwords, nor the passwords of security provider users.
Search Users
