Hi community,

Is it possible that a user must set a password when creating a public link ?

If I understand you correctly Malcolmp, passwords are not required when creating public links.

Hi @pydiouser2018

Yes, I know.

I want to know if it’s possible to obligate a user must set a password.

Hello.

Yes I know, but you didn’t answer me.  
It is possible to mandatory a user must set a password.

Maybe you speak french ?

Ma question est très simple, c’est peut-être mon anglais qui est très mauvais.

Je veux savoir, si c’est possible d’obliger un utilisateur à mettre un mot de passe lorsqu’il créé un lien public.  
Aujourd’hui, lorsqu’un utilisateur créé un lien public il a le choix de mettre un password ou non, je ne veux pas qu’il ait le choix, je veux l’obliger à mettre un mot de passe.

J’espère avoir été plus précis dans ma demande.

Malcolm

Salut,
