View and Change User SSPR Answers

Hi,

I suspect the answer to this is no, but is it possible to view user's SSPR answers? Is it possible for an admin to change a user's SSPR answers?

Thanks

Hello,

i didn't spend much time on SSPR right now but maybe this article may help you:

You should be able to unregister and re-register other users as a admin for SSPR in order to change their answers. Im now quite sure you can view them.

Out of the box, administrators cannot see the answers to the registration questions.  Those items are all encrypted in the FIM DB.

Good luck,

Scott

Both answers are true - you cannot view answers once user has registered himself with password registration page and you can do bulk registration for users.

We have done it some projects - but please remember that even if you would register a user with "known" answers, he can enter password registration page and re-register with his own answers. Then you don't have current answers, so you are unable to view them.

As a workaround for helpdesk (for example) you can either uninstall registration page or use powershell management agent that would re-register users during export.
