With Password Change, users with the appropriate rights – e.g. teachers or administrative staff – can change password for other uses with just a few clicks. It is possible to change passwords for individual entire classes or groups, without involving the IT department.

With Password Change, users with the appropriate rights – e.g. teachers or administrative staff – can change password for other uses with just a few clicks. It is possible to change passwords for individual entire classes or groups, without involving the IT department.
