User Fields

To edit user fields, your role must include the Manage Users and Access privilege.

When setting up a user, these three fields require special care: Status, Reports To, and Role fields. Entries for these fields determine what the user can access, view, and do.

This table describes some field information for users. The fields you see might differ from those in this table. If your role does not include the Manage Users and Access privilege, you won't see all the fields listed here, and the ones you see will be read-only.
