Editing a user's details

There are two types of user accounts:

• 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the local database for FishEye/Crucible.
• 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if configured. See Configuring external authentication sources.

To edit a user's details:

1. In the Admin area, click Users under 'User Settings'.
2. Locate the user and click the corresponding Edit link.
   If the user doesn't initially appear on the screen, type part of their email address and/or select a group to which they belong, and click Filter.

3. You can update the following fields:
   
   

   Display name	To change the user's login name, see Renaming a user.
   Email	This is the address to which notifications are sent.
   Auth Type	Select either built-in or the name of the appropriate external directory where the user is stored. By changing the 'Auth Type', you move the user to a different directory.
   Active Crucible user	Check to allow the user the have access to Crucible functionality.

4. Click Apply.
