Self admin

Self admin operations allow a user to perform actions on the user’s own info.

Calls to the self admin operations are disabled by default. You’ll have to edit the rest.properties file (more info at the REST services page) and add the line:

/rest/security/self/**;GET,POST,PUT,DELETE=ROLE_AUTHENTICATED

/security/self/password

Allows a user to change own password

Warning
