How to configure a role for a user to change their password within their own app?

Hi all,

I have an issue whereby I have created a role which pretty much allows users to simply just look at their dashboards in their own app. However, they cannot change their own passwords.

I have given them the change_own_password capability within the role. Unfortunately, when the users access Edit Account, it leads them to a 500 error.

Would anybody be able to assist or point me in the right direction with this?

Many thanks in advance

By adding list_inputs and rest_properties_get to the user role, the user should then be able to edit their own password. The change_own_password capability also needs to be included of course.

I also had this issue, did the above, didn't work, was told to add the new role to
etc/apps/search/metadata/local.meta where the user role is and it now works fine.
It's just a permissions issues

Are you using LDAP or local accounts?

I am using local accounts sir. I have managed to solve my issue by adding list_inputs and rest_properties_get to the user role.
