Password assignment by user managers

It often happens that someone has forgotten the password and asks for a new one. If you have the role user manager or administrator, you can reset passwords:
User management > select user > tab "Password"

The tab shows the current security level of the account and offers two ways to a new password: With "Send password link" you send a link for setting a new password to the stored e-mail address (recommended). With "Reset password" you set the new password directly.

Buttons "Reset password" and "Send password link" below the local OpenOlat authentication, above them the security level of the account, tab Password in the user management
