Hello ​@ahartung,

This is a choice that has been made for security reasons.

See the release note: https://docs.centreon.com/docs/24.10/releases/centreon-os/#241015

  • [Authentication] When editing a contact, users authenticated by an IdP no longer see the password editing fields.

      I agree with you ​@ahartung  it’s a horrible design choice, and a breaking change.

      Finally , you have an admin account, who is not admin.

        I also agree with ​@ahartung and ​@benoitp..

        I think, if I have an admin account, authenticated with an Identity Provider, I should be able to create new users with a password, but without confirming my own password. Or in case you want to keep this extra level of security to re-authenticate: redo the authentication on my identity provider to confirm my authentication is still valid.
