How do I change/reset a user's password?

Cresta users with either the Global Admin or User Admin roles can set or reset a user's password from Org Management for the users they have access to. 

  • Cresta passwords must be at least 8 characters long, and contain a number, a symbol (!@#$%^&*), and a lowercase and uppercase character; otherwise, it won't save.  Learn more about configuring a secure password here.
