Expire password for single user
Is it possible for and admin on the site to expire a single users password which would force them to reset it at the next login? We do not want to use a blanket password policy that would force the password to expire after a certain period of time but we want to control this on an individual user basis.

RE:Expire password for single user
Hello,

The password expiration can only be set at a site level and cannot be set for a given user, or set of users. You could set the password expiration to something like 3,650 days, and then set the CMS_UserSettings.UserPasswordLastChanged date in the past for the user, this would effectively set the password policy only on this user. The other approach would be to use our API to enable this setting only when a given user tries to login, of course this would also require customization of your login procedure.

Best Regards,
Edward Hillard
