Scenario #1: Internal users

- Password reset request and emails are ONLY applicable to internal users (i.e users who are invited through invite link / email invite) based on documentation - https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/signing-in.html#email-address-or-username-sign-in

I think this would be better in a different section than "Business". Maybe "Use Cases", "Product questions", or alternatively you could create a new section for this.

@amyblais @wiersgallak Thanks for your input on this. The reason why I included this in the FAQ is due to the number of support tickets we have received related to password reset which (as we all know) should be handled by the System Administrator of their Mattermost instance.

I do agree that I should have a new section for this nevertheless. Maybe create a new How To section? For example:

"How do I reset my password?"

@ahmaddanialmohd How about "Account Questions"?

I would expect to see some of this type of content in https://docs.mattermost.com/help/settings/account-settings.html#password or as a FAQ/Account Questions section generally on this page.

I agree with that and we could also add it to the Troubleshooting guide under the Administration section: https://docs.mattermost.com/install/troubleshooting.html#administration-issues as "Resetting user password"?

Hi, @justinegeffen @wiersgallak @amyblais .

Sorry for missing out on this. In regards to this suggestion:

I agree with that and we could also add it to the Troubleshooting guide under the Administration section: https://docs.mattermost.com/install/troubleshooting.html#administration-issues as "Resetting user password"?

That sounds like a good idea since System Administrators should be the ones handling this request.

No worries, @ahmaddanialmohd. Would you be open to updating the Troubleshooting guide with this change? :)
