Enable Self-Service Password Reset

By default, the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta® platform provides controls for administrators to reset passwords for themselves and for other users. 

• For more information, see Manage Users.
• After users have logged in, they can reset their passwords via their Profile page. See User Profile Page.

Optionally, Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition customers can enable users to reset their passwords via email, which provides an extra measure of validation and security.
