User maintenance flow - default in Filament
Hi, couple of questions relating to user management.
1) I have a resource based on the User model and, predictably, I have the password field included - if I want to create a user I can add a record here and set my own password for that user. Anytime you want to update that user record you have to typoe in a password. Of course what I really want is a means to set a password that is independent of any update to other user fields and I wondered if this is available out of the box - or if not, some ideas as to how others have implemented this?
2) Ideally I want the process flow to be that an admin user creates another user's record (without a password) and that new user then sets their own password on first logging-in - not necessarily wedded to this flow but it seems quite straightforward (and keeps the knowledge of the password private to the new user) - but again happy to learn of examples of best practise (if there are some tutorials or links to docs on how to achieve).
I have been browsing the Filament docs and couldn't see where these fundamentals of user management were discussed. If I have to use another plugin, happy to do so.
thanks as ever,
j

You could use a package like this. it creates a user with a random password and sends them an invite notification with a link to reset the password

You could also create this yourself quite easily without the package
Thanks, this suggestion helps with question 2 from above.
Regarding question 1, any suggestions? I am almost expecting the response to be a link to a Filament doc pages I haven't come across yet 🙂
just remove the password field from the form
Hi, that was obviously one thought 🙂 - wondered if perhaps Filament already had the various types of user maint forms available by default (such as loggged-in user changing own password).
Just came across this - https://github.com/joaopaulolndev/filament-edit-profile - looks like it might be a nice packaging of some of what I was seeking.
