Do you know how to use phpMyAdmin to access the database directly?
Once the users are imported, you can manually set a password hash. You can assign the same default password to everyone initially, or if this isn’t a good idea you can take the trouble of creating a different one for each person.
Anyway, the way to do it is: change the password for your own user from within the SuiteCRM app, and it will create a hash in your user’s row in the database. Then copy that hash value to the new user.
This is a rough procedure to just get things done quickly; if you need something more elaborate, more “best-practices”, you will need some extra work…
Hello,
I couldn’t install phpmyadmin so I started installing crm suite on a web server so I set up a virtual machine on ubuntu.
I installed the prerequisites and then I tried to start the installation but during the check I have a problem
he tells me : Please fix the following directories and the files under them before proceeding :
/modules/Documents
/modules
…
ok thank you !
It’s done now to import a user i need to define password but i don’t have the hash key of suite crm if i enter the password in clear.
it work ?
I am not sure I understand your question, but if you’re asking how to set the password for imported users, one possibility is:
Change your own user’s password to a simple word, say “password”
Go in the database with phpmyadmin, “users” table, and grab the hash - let’s say it’s “$1$EFGR%R$$TJCER(QAR”
Put that value in other user’s hashes, and tell them that the password is “password”, and ask them to change it at first login.
There might be smarter way to do this, I don’t know. Maybe setting the “system_generated_password” field to “1” in User’s table might cause some different behaviour, try it.
