Editing a User | ||
The ability to edit an existing user profile is open to both Basic Users and Administrators. Whereas Basic Users may only edit their own user profile, Administrators can edit any profile in the system.
Editing of user profiles can be accomplished through the User Management screen by clicking on System->Users in the main navigation bar. The User Management screen may look different depending upon which type of user you are logged in as. For Basic Users, the User List section of the screen (right side) will only display your own user profile. The details of your user profile will automatically be loaded into the User Details section of the screen (left side). Administrators, on the other hand, will have all users of the system displayed in the User List section and the form fields in the User Detail section will be blank. Administrators must first choose which user they wish to edit to by either clicking on the user's name or edit action button corresponding to the entry in the User List. The screen will then refresh and the details of the user's profile will be displayed in the User Details section. The user's entry in the User List will also become highlighted to show which user profile is currently loaded. Once the user's profile has been loaded into the User Details section, you may proceed to make changes. Basic Users may modify their User Name, Full Name, Email Address, and Password. For security reason's, a Basic User can not change their User Type, whereas Administrators may change all of these fields. Once the desired changes have been made, click the ' ' button to commit the changes. If the profile information is not complete or contains errors, the offending form field labels will become red with an error icon to the left. Simply click the error icons to receive an alert message describing the particular error found. Caveats:
