Editing a User

To edit an existing user's details, select that user in the User Administration screen and click on the Edit button. The Edit User screen is displayed, with compulsory fields marked with an asterisk. When you have finished editing the user's details, clicking on the Update button at the bottom of the screen saves the user's information and returns you to the User Administration screen.

The status drop-down controls if a user can log on to SilhouetteCentral or SilhouetteConnect (subject to their group permissions). A user will be able to log on when their status is "Enabled". To temporarily stop a user from logging on you can set their status to "Disabled". The system may also automatically disable an account, in which case the status will be "Locked". This distinction can be used to determine which user accounts have been explicitly disabled by a system administrator, and those which a user has accidentally disabled due to entering the incorrect password too many times.

If you wish to change the user's password, use the Reset Password button in the User Administration screen.
