Security

When adding a new users to the Splunk cluster, is there a way to enforce a password change the first time a user logs in? There is some command that you can use?

I searched and only found a way to add a list of users and is the following:

for USER in $USERLIST
do
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk add user ${USER}@example.org -password jibberish
done

Is there any way to add something more like a command that can force the password change for when users log in for the first time?
