We are excited to announce recent updates to our password reset process for Gopher for Users, aimed at enhancing user convenience and accessibility.
Key Updates Include:
-
Streamlined Email Content: We've revamped the password reset email. On the email sent with the new password, the User cards now only include the user's name, Username, and password directly within the email body for quick reference.
-
CSV File Attachment: Users now receive an attached .CSV file containing First Name, Last Name, Username and Password for impacted users, offering a convenient backup option.
- Branding Refresh: The email design now features the CDW logo, ensuring a consistent and recognizable experience for our users.
- We've updated the information in step 1 of the Delete users stepper for accuracy.
Bulk Update Users > Delete Users
- The previous message stated a 5-day data removal timeline, but in line with Google's policy, the accurate duration is 20 days. This correction ensures alignment with the proper data retention timeline.

Password reset emails include email instead of user name

When resetting passwords, you have the option to email the new password to someone. Previously it would email the user’s username and password, but now it will send the user’s email address and password instead.

When creating new users, you can now set their Building ID. Previously Google had the location field, however it has now been replaced with Building ID.
Note: If you encounter errors launching the Create new user feature, you may need to delete the existing Create New User tab. A new tab will automatically generate.
Previously, the feedback icon, located at the bottom of the sidebar in the Labs Gopher tools, opened to a Google form. This update redirected the feedback icon to the Labs Club Feature Requests page.
