Edit a Member

Prev Next

An organization owner can edit the avatar, role, display name, handle (including their own), language, and time zone for existing members (pending members cannot be edited). On the member edit page, an owner can also see the requests and work orders assigned to each member, broken down by status, as well as the member's auto-assigned request categories.

    • Role: Set the role of the member.

    • Handle: This is an internal name that can be used to "tag" other users in an internal comment. This allows users to easily ask a question or loop in another member of the team on a Request. The character limit for a handle is 16. Handles must be unique for each member (inactive or active) in the organization.

      Note:

      Owners cannot edit the handles of other owners

    • Default Language: Choose a default language from the drop-down.

      Note:

      Within each member's settings, there is an option to restrict which categories and/or agencies a member has access to. Granting access to an entire agency will include access to categories added to that agency in the future.
