[Wolfgang Reis]

hi,

how can the administrator of JIRA change the password of a user?

Go to the user profile and "administrate user". Or go to the user browser, find them, and click on the user login id, you'll be taken to a display screen with the option "set password" under the display.

If you are using ldap but this is a local account you may need to temporarily switch off the External passsword management flag in the general config.

Is this still valid? and is this for Jira Cloud?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It is valid if you are using internal Jira accounts on Server.

If you're using an external directory, you'll have to change passwords in that (Cloud only has external directories effectively - Google, Access and Atlassian accounts - all passwords are (re)set in those systems, not inside Jira)

Which consequences does this have if used upon an AD user?
