    User management via admin account

      Is there a way for the nukes admin to reset passwords & do general maintenance? I have a user that forgot his password, and claims that the "retrieve password" is not working, although I have confirmed it is. I would like to just login and set it to something known for him. Any way to do this?

      Thanks,
      gary.

          With the memberlist module you can search for an user and change all data for him. Same as "Change Your Info" for the current user.

            Ok, I had tried that, but didn't get the "edit" link. Here is why: I have added myself to the admin group, and generally have admin privs on the site. But, when I use the member list module with my regular account, I cannot manage the users. When I logged in as the actual 'admin' account, the functionality shows up.

            Is this a bug in the module? Or is there another group I need to add myself to?

            Thanks much,
            gary.

              I have tested it, it´s the same for me.
              I have played a while with the permisson settings for the user module. After putting the rule for the Admins group on second position everything works well.
              But i don't unerstand why.
