Better administration of freshid / freshworks accounts

Generally we like the new freshworks / mint system with freshId.


However, administrators now seem to have much less ability to help agents with login and profile problems.


Our admins can no longer trigger password resets for agents, and can no longer edit agent details like first name, lastname, etc.


Since not all agents are technically proficient, it's much preferred to regain the ability for administrators to help them rather than relying on agents to self serve.


I'd like the behavior I had prior to this update - when admins could trigger password resets and edit user details if necessary.

Hello Andris,


Welcome to the Freshdesk Community! Glad that you're liking the Mint version of your helpdesk :)


Since this is an integrated SSO mechanism, we wanted to follow the best practice of separating the user profile and login pages from the individual products and have a centralised place to manage them. We'll definitely look into this and see if we can bring back the option for admins.


Cheers!


I would like to edit the agent details as well, it's very helpful when i am able to standardize all details and pictures.


Today i need to go on all my agents desks to update every detail, think about doing it for 40 users everytime i need to update a picture or phone.

Hello Rodrigo,

Hope you are well. In the current authentication platform which is the FreshID Org V2. The Org Admin should be able to edit the user details from the Organisation dashboard. You can refer more about this in the link below.
