Reset a User Password
with Google Workspace · Identity & Access Management
Set a temporary password for a user and revoke their existing sessions.
- Confirm the user exists and capture its id before changing the password.
- Patch the user with the new temporary password and force a password change at the next login.
- Sign the user out of all active sessions so the previous password can no longer be used.
What you'll need to have ready
- accessToken: OAuth 2.0 bearer access token with the admin.directory.user scope.
- userKey: Primary email, alias, or unique id of the user to reset.
- newPassword: The new temporary password, 8-100 ASCII characters.
