The tabs
Section titled “The tabs”| Tab | What it shows | Shown to whoever has |
|---|---|---|

Editing the data
Section titled “Editing the data”Edit replaces the Details tab with the form (the same as for registration, without the password). Differences from registration:
- Login can be changed, in Personal Data. The new login cannot belong to another account, active or in the trash: H2O refuses it with the same messages as in the registration (chapter 12).
- Notification e-mails: besides the main email, the person can receive notices at other addresses. Type the address and click Add; the X removes an additional one (the main one cannot be removed here).
- Default Profile and Default Site only offer the assignments the user already has. To give access to a new site, first add the assignment in the Profiles tab.
- Recursive is shown read only (Edit in the Profiles tab): recursive belongs to each assignment.
- The password is changed with the Password button (chapter 6).
Click Save. If you changed the Status or the validity dates, the person’s open session is re-evaluated at once (chapter 8).
Read only
Section titled “Read only”The record opens read only — without Edit, Deactivate, Password and Delete, without the buttons of the Profiles and Groups tabs and without the Location tab — in two cases:
- your active profile does not have Edit on Users: the strip says Your profile does not have permission to edit users.;
- the header site is not the user’s default site (nor the Root): the strip says This user belongs to another site. Read-only mode. Switch the header site to the user’s site to edit.

Figure 6. The same record with Vila Nova Residential — Tower 1 in the header: the user belongs to the company, so the record opens Read only, with the yellow strip and without the Location tab.
- 1The header site — different from the user’s default site.
- 2Read only instead of the buttons.
- 3The This user belongs to another site. Read-only mode. strip.
