You can predefine how they are handled in ***Administration - System settings - General***. For an overview on the subject, see [General](/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-and-security/system-settings.md). ### Temporary password setup #### Invite with existing Devolutions Account In the invite process, when a Devolutions Account is found for the user, it will automatically link the account to Devolutions Cloud. {% hint style="success" %} In this case, the ***Temporary password*** is not being used since the account already exists. {% endhint %} The user will receive an invitation email with a link to Devolutions Cloud. To access it, the user logs in with their current Devolutions Account credentials. #### Automatically handle temporary password for invitee with no Devolutions Account When inviting a user who does not have a Devolutions Account, Devolutions Cloud will create the account and add the user in the vault. In the process, you can choose to let Devolutions Cloud automatically handle the ***Temporary password*** and send it via the invitation email. The user will receive an invitation email with a link to Devolutions Cloud with their ***Temporary password***. They will be reminded to change their password. #### Manually handle temporary password for invitee with no Devolutions Account When inviting a user who does not have a Devolutions Account, Devolutions Cloud will create the account and add the user in the vault. In the process, you can choose to manually handle the ***Temporary Password*** from Devolutions Cloud. In the ***Mass invite report*** window, you will be required to copy or download the ***Temporary password*** PDF for each of your users. This is mandatory, since they will need the ***Temporary password*** to access Devolutions Cloud. The user will receive the automatic invitation email with a link to Devolutions Cloud and a warning that you will forward them the ***Temporary password***. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/management/users/create-and-invite-users/temporary-password.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
