Resetting a member's Igloo password

Administrators can trigger a reset of a member's Igloo authentication password from the Manage Members page of a digital workplace. The outcome of resetting a password is different depending on the type of user:

Email users are sent an email asking them to reset their password using the provided link within 24 hours.
Extended access users have a new password entered by an administrator, which needs to be communicated to the user. After signing in with this password, they will be prompted to create a new password. For more information, see Extended access.

This process only offers a way to reset a member's Igloo password, not their SSO or LDAP password.
