Resetting Security Token in database.com for a non-admin user

Hi folks,

 

Has anyone tried providing a security token based access to regular Database.com user (not an administrator)? There simply does not seem to be any way of doing it. If I login as a db.com user (non admin), the only page that I have access to is to change my own password. 'Reset My Security Token' link is available, but when I click on it, I get 'Insufficient privileges...' message. In so far as I know, an admin cannot reset security token for other users, right? 

 

Then, how is a regular db.com user supposed to access (via API) db.com? I know OAuth exists and works perfectly. But, I have a case here which precludes using oAuth.

 

Can someone show me a way please?

 

Best regards

P Athani

Hi, 

 

This looks like a bug. Can you please log a support case for this?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

Any idea if this has been fixed? Is there another way to reset user's api perhaps via the API?

 

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. Created a User, login with that user, go to option Reset My Security Token ... and got Insufficient Privileges!

Anyone help?
