Edit a User
This knowledge base article is about editing a user.
Please read this knowledge base article on what roles can be edited by who: User Roles & Privileges
Only these fields can be edited:
- Photograph or Avatar
- Password (if a user is in more than one account, the password fields will be blocked and a message will appear about this)
- Role
- Status (active or inactive)
Other fields cannot be edited. The reason for not allowing a user's email address and the user's name to be edited are for the purposes of full traceability. All the project records that a user creates or edits are linked to user via their name and in turn the email address. If a user's name were allowed to be changed, you would not know who did what and when.
