Edit a User

This knowledge base article is about editing a user.

Edit a user via the pen & notepad icon

Editing a user

Only these fields can be edited:
  1. Photograph or Avatar
  2. Password
  3. Role
  4. Status
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.
