Password Change for non-SIS users

[jvail]

Good Afternoon All,

I think having a way that non SIS imported users can change their password would be a valuable feature to have.  We have some users that are not controlled by our SAML provider but need to be able to change their password while still not showing the password change option for our users that log in with our SAML provider.

Voted!  @jvail  just making sure you're aware of a workaround for non-SIS which users is possible with Canvas now.

In brief, make sure the non-SIS-imported users do not have an SIS ID on their login, and that they also have a way to reach the native Canvas login route at https://<your_canvas_domain>/login/canvas to use "Forgot Password?" and request a reset.  Password change via a reset is available this way; however, in this scenario, password change at Account > Settings isn't available.  (I'm guessing the latter is the intention of this feature idea.)
