AssignNewPassword() needs Security Permissions

[ashleyg]

Hi All,

I am wanting to assign a new password programmatically (after a User has been created programmatically in the same service).

I have been able to implement this and after testing this works.

However I can only test this as an Administrator User. When testing this as a "Standard" User, who has no ThingWorx Administrator Permissions, on a Mashup login form I have created, the error I get states that this Function can only be performed by an Administrator or Security Administrator, is there a workaround for this so that I can give permissions to "Standard" Users to be able to Assign New Passwords for Users they have Visibility and Runtime Permissions for?

Many Thanks

Ashley

I would use the SecurityAdministratorsGroup for the function described here. It is a severely limited administrative group. Read more in the Help Center. There would be no harm in adding your "standard" users to this group, really.
