Editing a User Account

Keep in mind the following:

The “admin” account acts differently than the other accounts. You cannot add or remove

organizations from the “admin” account. You cannot remove the Everything organization from

the “admin” account. New organizations are automatically added to the “admin” account when

they are created.

Although the domain administrator can see organization, user and role pages, the domain

administrator can only edit active organizations.

Domain administrators can change the user names and roles of other domain administrators,

but they cannot modify their own user name and roles while logged into the management

server. Domain administrators can also edit their full name, e-mail, phone, and other details, as

well assign and un-assign any organization.

This change takes effect immediately, even if the user is logged into the management server.
