change another admin password in web

[zaska]

Hi,

I have SugarCRM CE 5.5.2 (Build 1224)
The problem is that I can't change the password of another administrator. I know how to change it directly in MySQL, but want to do it within Sugar. One solution is to make that user "Regular", change it and make it back "Administrator". Is this some kind of feature? In 5.0 I think the "change password" button is there.

Thanks

Yes, it seems to be a new feature if I understand the code correct:

if((($current_user->id == $focus->id) || $usertype=='PORTAL_ONLY' || (($usertype=='REGULAR' || (isset($_REQUEST['isDuplicate']) && $_REQUEST['isDuplicate'] == 'true' && $usertype!='GROUP')) && !$enable_syst_generate_pwd)) && !$focus->external_auth_only )

Hm.. too bad
Thanks kuske

Mhh you could patch that line in /modules/Users/EditView.php

But I saw that the forgotten password mechanism in version 5.5.4 with reCaptchas seems to work now. Perhaps that is the reason for the "new feature"

I see
Sounds reasonable

Thanks as well about the information because it's a very helpful on my part as well.
