# Setting up initiate password reset for REST resource types

To initiate a password reset, a given REST resource type must have the `ds-pwp-modifiable-state-json` delegated admin attribute.

## About this task

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

|   | The `ds-pwp-modifiable-state-json` delegated admin attribute is not visible on the **View/Edit** and **Reporting** pages. It's for internal use only, similar to the `ds-pwp-account-disabled` attribute. |

To enable initiate password reset functionality for a specified REST resource type:

## Steps

* Run `dsconfig` with the `create-delegated-admin-attribute` option.

  ### Example:

  The following example grants `"Tenant Users"` the initiate password reset functionality through the `ds-pwp-modifiable-state-json` delegated admin attribute:

  ```
  dsconfig create-delegated-admin-attribute \
      --type-name "Tenant Users"  \
      --attribute-type ds-pwp-modifiable-state-json  \
      --set "display-name:Modifiable Password Policy State"
  ```
