Editing users and customers

Edit users or customers to update contact and other information, change security settings, set up email notifications, and assign licenses. You may also be able to change usernames if the option is enabled on the Helix ALM License Server. See license server help for information.

Note: If you want to change a local user or customer to global, you must promote them. See Promoting users and customers.

1. To edit a user, select the user on the Users list window and click Edit. You can also choose Edit > Edit.

To edit a customer, select the customer on the Customers list window and click Edit. You can also choose Edit > Edit.

Tip: To search for a user or customer, click Find. See Searching Users and Customers lists.

The Edit dialog box opens.

2. Make any changes to the information.

Keep the following in mind:

Multiple users can have the same first and last names. Make sure to enter additional contact information to distinguish between these users in Helix ALM applications.
Users with usernames and passwords longer than 32 characters cannot use Surround SCM or TestTrack 2016.0 and earlier.
You cannot edit most information on the Info tab and any information on the Address tab for LDAP users in Helix ALM. This information is managed on the LDAP or Active Directory server.
Users can be in multiple security groups. If any group a user is in gives permission to perform an action through command security or work with fields through field security, then the user has permission.
