Changing a User's Password

Members Resetting Passwords

  1. Members are able to reset their password on their own without logging in by using the Forgot Password link located on the Login Page of the website.

  2. When the link is clicked it will prompt a question if you forgot your username or password.

  3. When the forgot password is clicked, it will ask for an email address to send your new password to. It must match the email address that is associated with the member account.

  4. If a member does not remember their email address, they should contact whichever site administrator receives the password updates. If your club does not have one on file, it will go to Clubessential Technical Support.

Best Practices

  1. By being able to change the passwords for members and staff, you will eliminate the time it could take to reach your designated support team in case they are experiencing longer turnaround times.

  2. Also, by helping the member right then and there shows the member you can help in any way possible. By being able to change their password so they can log into the site means they can sign up for events, make dinner reservations and tee times, and will bring revenue to the club.
