Important Considerations

  • Multi-Company Accounts: Users may belong to multiple companies within WorkSuite SaaS, which complicates changing credentials. Ensure you have proper authorization before proceeding.
  • Data Security: Changing credentials directly in the database should only be done by a trusted individual. Always ensure backups are made before making any changes.

Changing User Email

  1. Access phpMyAdmin: Log in to your phpMyAdmin account.
  2. Select the Database: Choose the database associated with your WorkSuite SaaS.
  3. Locate the Tables:Navigate to the following tables:
    • user_auths
    • users
  4. Edit User Email:
    • In each table, find the record for the user whose email you need to change.
    • Edit the email field and save the changes.

Resetting User Password

  1. Locate the Table: Go to the user_auths table.
  2. Edit User Record: Find the specific user record whose password you need to reset.
  3. Generate New Password Hash:
  4. Update Password Field:
    • Copy the generated hash.
    • In phpMyAdmin, paste the hash into the password field of the user’s record.
    • Ensure the function dropdown is set to “None.”
  5. Save Changes: Submit the form to update the password.
