Modifying user information

You can modify information for existing users. Use the User editor to modify the user's name, ID, email address, photo, repository permissions, work location and time zone, work days and hours, scheduled absences, email notification options, and client access license. All users can edit their own password, email address, and photo. Only users with administrator permissions can edit other users' records.
