Turn Off Forgot Password and Request Sign In Details Option

On the Preferences page, you can select to turn off the "Forgot Password" and "Request Sign In Details" feature for HMH Ed™ administrators and teachers. This includes administrators and teachers added manually through the Ed platform and those added via rostering.

 

Note:

      By default, this setting is turned on because that allows your administrators and teachers to request their sign in details, set personalized passwords for the utmost level of security, and reset passwords when necessary.

      If you plan to use single sign on (SSO) solutions (details provided in HMH Rostering Service and Log In Help – SSO Considerations ), then you will want to turn this setting off and provide your users with their SSO endpoint and login path instead; that way, your users are not sent an email related to platform-specific password reset. If you plan to use Google SSO, see HMH Rostering Service and Log In Help – Authentication Manager: Set Up SSO Connections for details.

      Administrators imported using HMH Rostering Service can be set up without rostering rights, which restricts their access to rostering functions, such as adding and editing user accounts and classes, managing preferences, and setting up LMS connections. If you do not see these options in Ed and require this access, you must consult with your district rostering administrator for assistance.

 

For further details, see the instructions below.
