Display all Hide all

This setup is used to define if a password is mandatory for the users (if this is not the case, an empty password can be entered).

When this parameter is set to Yes, creating a new user, as well canceling the password of a new user, will trigger the allocation of a new temporary password. This temporary password is either displayed on screen, or sent in a message to the concerned user if a related workflow event exists. The user will then have to change the temporary password upon first connection (otherwise he will not be able to log in).
