Edit a profile

You can edit the configuration of a profile to meet your organization’s needs in two ways. The second method way is handy when you are editing the profile of a single user who has been assigned a shared or default profile and you want to edit the permissions in that profile, without losing your work on the single user’s profile screen.

  • On the Profiles page, click the profile name, then edit its configuration as required (see steps above) and click Save.

  • On an individual user’s user maintenance form, click the Profile tab, select the profile you want to edit, then click the Edit for everyone link. The profile page opens in a new browser tab, where you can proceed to edit its configuration (see steps above). You can return to the other browser tab to continue editing the single user’s profile settings.
