Resetting Multiple Passwords

Hi Buzz community,

Sometimes I have to give users all the same password as per the request of the instructor. That's easy to do when I'm uploading new users for the first time. But if some users already exist within buzz, am I able to do a bulk update of existing users' passwords? I've tried using the "import users" feature with the action "edit," but that didn't work.

Thank you!

The best way to update multiple passwords at once would be via the API command of UpdatePassword. When using that command you would use the API Console and log in with your Buzz credentials (domain/username format for the user name). Once you are in the console change the method to POST, leave Query-String empty, and the code <request cmd="updatepassword" userid="id" password="string" /> in the POST Data field (one request for each user that needs the password to be reset, multiple requests can be sent at once).
