This class is used to send requests to Admin User API Routes. All its method are available in the JS Client under the medusa.admin.users property.

Methods

sendResetPasswordToken

Generate a password token for an admin user with a given email. This also triggers the user.password_reset event. So, if you have a Notification Service installed that can handle this event, a notification, such as an email, will be sent to the user. The token is triggered as part of the user.password_reset event's payload. That token must be used later to reset the password using the resetPassword method.

Example

import Medusa from "@medusajs/medusa-js"
const medusa = new Medusa({ baseUrl: MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL, maxRetries: 3 })
// must be previously logged in or use api token
medusa.admin.users.sendResetPasswordToken({
email: "user@example.com"
})
.then(() => {
// successful
})
.catch(() => {
// error occurred
})

Returns
