    Description

      Was looking for methods for users to change their passwords without needing administrative roles. Couldn't find any on 7.1+ documentation as we were just led to using either /settings/rbac/users/local/<username>/ or having to use couchbase-cli-user-change-password.

      Then found that in Couchbase UI, the password change feature uses the https://github.com/couchbase/ns_server/blob/8716fa28913b8b703e36acd1ac206d3ef679660c/priv/public/ui/app/mn_admin/mn_reset_password_dialog_service.js#L47 feature found here. Which gave us the rest api: /controller/changePassword/. We'd like this to be documented please.
