How do I reset a client Username?

The long and short is that only clients can reset their username in the system, which requires signing in first.

As a staff member, while it is not possible to clear out or reset a client username, it can be retrieved for the client (to then be reset after) by following these steps:

Find Client Username & Status

Go to:

  • Clients (left menu)
  • Click the client name, loading their profile
  • On the right menu, look under all the buttons for Client Portal Access shown here:

There are two things to note here:

  • If a username is present
    • This means their portal account is fully set up
  • The client portal status is plainly: can they sign in or not
    • Blue = enabled, meaning the client can sign into the portal
    • Grey = disabled, meaning the client cannot sign into the portal
      • Even with the correct credentials

Examples of each possible state:

Client without a portal account setup (no username) & a grey toggle:

  • Note there's no username, which is a good thing meaning they can pick their own!
  • Suggested:

Client with a portal account set up (username) & enabled (blue toggle):

  • Here you can note the username (joefake) and relay that to the client so they can sign in

Client with a portal account set up (username) & disabled (grey toggle):

This means:

  • The client has an account set up
  • But they wouldn't be able to sign in until It's re-enabled (click to make it a blue toggle)

Once the client resets their password, they can sign into their account and update their username information with the below steps.
