Set Self-Service User Password

Sets a self-service user’s password based on the specified user ID. The password provided in the request body replaces the user’s existing password. This resource is available in REST API version 24.0 and later.

You can only set one password per request. The new password must conform to the password policies for the organization, otherwise an INVALID_NEW_PASSWORD error is returned.

If the session doesn’t have permission to access the user information, an INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS error is returned.
