# Edit User

Edit existing user profiles to update key details such as their **Name**, **Contact Number**, **Title**, and **Roles**.\
This section allows administrators to manage existing team members without affecting their login credentials or linked accounts.

> **Notes:**&#x20;
>
> Once a user has been created, their **email address, password, and SSO configuration** cannot be changed.&#x20;
>
> If the user needs to change their password, they can do this by following the forgot password process.&#x20;
>
> To update login details or transfer access between accounts, please contact <support@cloudscaff.com> for assistance.

The Edit User form is similar to the Add User form but with the following differences:

* The **Email** field is locked and cannot be edited.
* **Password** and **SSO settings** are not displayed.
* You can update:
  * **Full Name:** The user’s first and last names — used throughout documents and logs.
  * **Contact Number:** Optional field for adding a phone number.
  * **Title:** Define the user’s position or job title (e.g., Site Manager, Supervisor, Developer).

> **Tip:** Use accurate titles and contact details — they appear on all documents and logs in the system.

### **Selecting Roles**

The example below shows the types of roles that have been created by an administrator in the system and are available to allocate to a user.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/AVovUPhlwrEPSvwBZVfW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Each role includes a title and a description to help you select the correct role or combination of roles for the user.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/PQUaY6fX2JpZPMpsQR2H" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

When assigning or managing roles, you can quickly identify their function and permissions by looking at the available indicators in the list.

#### **Checkbox**

Displays which role has been selected to be applied to the user.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/YZp5IfgCLhtetrNWfmwE" alt="" width="60"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### **Permission Count**

The number displayed on the top right of the role name indicates how many permissions are set within that role.

#### **Edit Button**

## **Saving Changes**

After updating user information and setting roles:

1. Review the fields for accuracy.
2. Click **UPDATE USER** at the bottom of the form.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/8gRCi54kvRF5LRFG04v0" alt="" width="174"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The system will immediately apply the updates across all devices.

> **Note:** If a user is logged in while their roles are updated, they may need to refresh their session to see the new access permissions.

***

### **Best Practices**

* Review user access regularly to ensure permissions reflect current roles.
* Assign the minimum required access to maintain operational control.
* Use clear and accurate job titles for documentation and reporting consistency.

***

### **Example Workflow**

1. Navigate to **Settings → User Profiles.**
2. Select a user and click **Edit (✏️).**
3. Update the **Name**, **Contact Number**, and **Title** fields.
4. Click **Select Role** to adjust permissions.
5. Click **UPDATE USER** to confirm.

The user’s updated details and permissions will immediately reflect in all linked sections of Cloudscaff.
