When the Admin adds new users to the portal, they're assigned a random password by default. Administrators can create a notification to allow these users to set their own passwords.

Here is how:

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator, go to Home > Events engine and click Add notification (1).

2. Type a Name (2) for your notification in the respective field.

3. From the Event drop-down list, choose “On user create” (3)

4. Select “Related user” in the Recipient (4).

5. In the notification Body text area (5), do the following:

First, type a subject for your notification email and press Enter to change lines. (This first line of the message will be used as a subject line for the email)

Then, type your notification and ensure that you have included the {create password url} smart tag (6).

Finally, add a footer with some basic notification info.

6. Click Create notification (7) to save your settings.

The {create password url} smart tag generates a link which is sent to the user via email. They need to open this email and click on the link which will redirect them to the Create password screen.

The user can then type their preferred password and click on Create password (1).

Once their password is accepted, they will see the relevant confirmation message on the screen and be redirected to the Login page.

The link is valid for 48 hours. If the user clicks on it after this period, they will be informed that the link has expired. In this case, they can then enter their username or email address to request another password creation link by clicking Send (2).

This triggers the "Create password” system notification and a new email with the link will be sent to the user. To customize this notification please check this article.
