For Feature Requests
Desired Feature: Generate a random password and email the user when and administrator creates a new account.
Expected Behavior
When an admin creates a new user account, the option should exist to generate a random password and have the new account information sent to the user via email. This way the administrator does not have the ability to see the password. Additionally, the user should be promoted to create a new password on first sign-in.
Actual Behavior
The administrator must manually specify a password and give it to the user. The administrator must also instruct the user to change their password, which does not always happen.
