title: Setting a user's password

### Evaluating AdminUI

If you are using a demo license key, when you create a user we give you the ability to set a password for that user. We do this to simplify the creation of users while you are evaluating the product. However, **we do not recommend this for production installations**.

### In production

When you are using a production key we do not give you the ability to set a password for the user on the [Add User](Adding_users.md) screen by default. Our recommendation is to use an email flow for the user to set their own password. You can enable this via a webhook as explained [here](https://www.identityserver.com/articles/extending-adminui-with-newuser-and-passwordreset-webhooks).
However, if, in your situation, you do want to enable the ability for an administrator to set the password for a new user, you can turn on this feature with the `AddUserPassword` as documented [here](../Configuration_and_Integration/Configuring_AdminUI.md)
