Hi, is there a way for an admin to change the password of a specific user on demand via REST? In Parse, there’s a masterkey that can modify any user data. Is there such a thing with backendless? - Lester
Hi Lester,
Yes, you can do it in Backendless. You would need to create a custom role, let’s call it “Administrator”. You would set the permissions for the role for the Users table as described here:
https://backendless.com/feature-27-securing-access-to-a-data-table-for-a-security-role/
Once the role permissions are in place, create an account in the User table for yourself:
https://backendless.com/feature-64-registering-app-users-manually-using-backendless-console/
And assign the “Administrator” role to your own account:
https://backendless.com/feature-42-assigning-roles-to-users-using-management-console/
At this point, you can use any of our SDK (or REST) to update any property for any user.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mark
