Manage a Host's Password

  • Platform
  • Evoq Content
  • Evoq Engage

You can renew the user password in three ways:

  • You can change the password for the user. If the site is configured with password rules (i.e., minimum length), the initial password you assign must obey those password rules.
  • You can send the user a password reset link. The link is valid for 24 hours.
  • You can force the user to change their password at the next login. This action cannot be undone.

Prerequisites

  • A host / super user account. Hosts have full permissions to all sites in the DNN instance.

Steps

  1. Go to Host > Advanced Settings (double-gear tab) > SuperUser Accounts.

    Host > Advanced Settings > SuperUser Accounts

  2. Search for the user account to edit.

    You can use the Search textbox and dropdown at the top to search by a user account field, such as Username, Email, Display Name, Street, City, social media account, or Preferred Locale.

    You can also filter the displayed accounts using the predefined filter links. The alphabet links return accounts with usernames that start with that letter.
