To edit a user
When you edit a user, you can edit the user password, the user first and last names, the user email address, the user status, the user level (Administrator and/or Staff) and the user permissions. You cannot edit a user name. To edit a user name, you must delete the existing user (see To delete a user), and then add the user with a new user name.
1. On the Geneticist Assistant main menu, click File > User Management.
The User Management dialog box opens. The User tab is the open tab. The tab displays all the users who are currently configured for your Geneticist Assistant installation, their status, and if applicable, their permissions level.
2. Do one of the following:
• Double-click the user that you are deleting.
• Right-click the user that you are editing, and on the context menu that opens, click Edit User.
The Edit User dialog box opens. With the exception of the password, the dialog displays all the current information for the user, including the currently assigned permissions.
3. Edit any or all of the following information as needed—the user password, the user first and last names, the user email address, the user status (Active), or the user level (Staff or Administrator).
 | If you edit the user level, do not forget to manually edit the permissions as needed. See Step 4 below. |
4. In the Permissions pane, add or delete the permissions for the user as needed. You can add or delete permissions individually, or you can add or delete all permissions of a specific type in a single step.
• To add all permissions of a specific type (for example, View), select the check box next to the type.
• To clear all permissions of a specific type, clear the check box for the type.
| | Be aware of the dependencies for these permissions. For example, if a user is to be able to add chemistries, then the user must also be able to view chemistries. |
5. Click OK.
The Edit Permissions dialog box closes. The User tab of the User Management dialog box remain open.
