Request: make it possible that every Home Assistant administrator can change the password of other users (but not other administrators)
LONG
In Home Assistant 0.115 (Happy Birthday!) when you are logged in as the “owner of the system” (=first user ever created in Home Assistant configuration) you can change the passwords of other users.
I updated to 0.115 and when I am logged as an administrator I cannot change the passwords of other users.
Possible reason: this is what happened in the past:
- created a Home Assistant configuration (using a pre 0.115 version)
- created my first user called Alice (probably the owner of the system)
- happily started using the system
- forgot Alice’s password
- discovered there is no password reset option in Home Assistant
- luckily I still had access to the system, so I created a second administrator called Bob
- logged in as Bob and deleted user Alice
- renamed user Bob back “Alice”
- created a new user called Eve
- updated to version 0.115
- tried to change Eve’s password in Home Assistant using Configuration / Users. The option to change the password is missing!
I imagine other home assistant administrators are in the same boat because they also did the hack of “creating a second admin account” when they list their password.
So, if my assumption “only the owner of the system can change passwords” is correct, please let all Home Assistant administrators have the ability to change passwords within their configuration (not just the first user ever created).
Otherwise, can someone tell me how I can change the password of a Home Assistant user?
