Changing user password

System Administrator can change the password of a user whose SonarQube Server account is not tied to a third-party identity provider.

Changing the password in the UI

1. In Administration > Security > Users, retrieve the user (see Viewing user accounts).
2. Select the action menu for the user.
3. Select Enter a new password.

You cannot change any user password in the UI (even of user accounts not tied to a third-party provider) if your system has enabled automatic provisioning mode.

Changing the password through the API

Use the web service api/users/change_password.
