In Crowd, users are referred to as principal entity objects (or just principals).

To edit a principal's details,

  1. Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser. Select the relevant directory, locate the principal in which you are interested, then click the 'View' link corresponding to the principal.
  4. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen.
  5. Edit the details as required, then click the 'Update' button.


To change a principal's password,

  1. Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser. Select the relevant directory, locate the principal in which you are interested, then click the 'View' link corresponding to the principal.
  4. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. You can either:
  • Enter the new password as required, then click the 'Update' button;
    OR
  • Click the 'Reset Password' link. This will generate a new password (i.e. one which you do not know) and email it to the user.
If you have configured an Email Server and a Notification Template, Crowd will send the user an email notification about their new password.
