How to Change User Password in the IGEL UMS Web App

In the UMS Web App, you can change the password of the currently logged-in user, and other users as well.

In the UMS Console, you can do the same under System > Administrator accounts, see Administrator Accounts in the IGEL UMS.

In the UMS Web App, unlike in the UMS Console, you can also change the password of the UMS superuser.

You cannot change the password for Active Directory users and SSO users since these passwords are not managed by the UMS.
