There may be occasions where a staff person forgets their password and is unable to log into their Staff Portal. Your staff is able to use the Forgot your password? link to generate a new password.
The password can also be reset through your database. How to reset the password depends on whether the staff person is logging into the Staff Portal with an assigned Staff Portal Login ID or whether they are logging in using their Jackrabbit User ID and password (when a staff person is linked to a User ID).
A staff member must be active in order to log into the Staff Portal. They will see a message on the Staff Portal login screen "This staff member is inactive and cannot login".
Reset Password Using the Forgot your password? Link
The Forgot your password? link on the Staff Portal login page allows your staff to quickly generate an email with a link to reset their password. This email will be sent to the email address you have on file for them in their Staff record, on the Summary tab.
The password reset link is time-sensitive and expires in 24 hours.

When a staff person, who has an assigned Staff Portal Login ID, is resetting their password they will need to enter the email address located on their Staff record. Staff who log into the Staff Portal using their Jackrabbit User ID (which has been linked/matched to their Staff record) must reset their password using the email address located on their User ID profile. In both cases, the password reset email is sent to the address on the Staff record.

- Click the link on the User ID to edit.
- Click the Reset Password button.
- Enter the new password and confirm.
