Edit a User

Edit an existing user account.

User Id
This field displays the id that is used when logging in to ShopSite's back office. It cannot be edited after the user is created.
User name
This is the name that will appear in the top right of each screen in the back office, next to the log out link.
E-mail
The e-mail address that will be used when resetting passwords for this user.
Account Status
This field displays whether or not this user account is currently logged in. It will also display the number of failed login attempts for this user account.
Account Action
There may be two or three radio buttons as part of this field or none, if you are editing your own account), depending on whether there are any failed login attempts associated with the account. Select the appropriate radio button and click the "Apply" button to perform the action. Use "Change password" (or click the link if you are editing your own account) to change the password for the account. "Disable Account" will prevent the user from logging in. If there are any failed login attempts, there is a radio button to "Reset failed login attempts", as well.
Roles
Select which roles the user is allowed to perform. The roles are additive, meaning the user can perform any task that any of the roles provide. Note that the Administrator role is allowed full access to the ShopSite back office and doesn't require any other roles to be assigned.

The User Roles specify which features in the back office can be accessed by the user. Here is a table that shows what each role can access:
