Modify Users

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony account administrators, a Symphony supervisor, and account users who are assigned to a group with user management privileges can modify users.

The default supervisor user is no longer installed; add users to the Supervisors group instead.

When Logged In as a Supervisor

To modify a user as a supervisor:

1. Log in as a supervisor. The Manage Users work area appears, listing all the users in the Symphony instance. If you navigate away from this work area, you can always access it by selecting Tools > Users from the main menu.

2. On the left side of the page, select the name of the user you want to modify. The user information appears on the right side of the page.

3. On the Info tab, modify the values for the user login name, full name, email, and password, as needed.

   You cannot change the groups to which a user is assigned. Groups can only be assigned by account administrators or account users who have been assigned to groups with user management privileges.

4. On the Account(s) tab, adjust the Symphony accounts to which the user is assigned or change the user's current account, as needed. See Assign and Remove Users in Symphony Tenant Accounts.

5. On the Regional Settings tab, change the regional language for the user definition, as needed.

6. Select Save to save the user definition.

When Logged In as an Administrator or a Group User with User Management Privileges

To modify a user as an administrator or user with user management group privileges:

1. Log in as an administrator or a user who has been assigned to a group with user management privileges.

2. Select the Users & Gropus option from the Tools menu in the main menu. The Users and Groups page appears. It consists of two sections: Users and Groups.

3. Select Users to see a list of all the users that have been defined for the account.

4. On the left side of the page, select the name of the user you want to modify. The user information appears on the right side of the page.

5. On the Info tab, supply values for the user login name, full name, email, password, and assigned groups, as needed.

6. On the Custom Attributes tab, specify or change custom attributes for the user, as needed.
