### 3.5.2. Editing a User’s Profile

If you are an `admin` user, you can edit a user’s access level, group membership, and other personal information. The easiest way to do this is to click on the user’s name on the Administration/Users page. Or, you can select Edit > Profile from the toolbar or context menu. The Edit User dialog that opens is essentially the same as the New User dialog with the following differences:

- The User name field is not editable. To change the name of an existing user, right-click on the user on the Administration/Users page and select Edit > Rename from the context menu.

- Because you are editing a user instead of creating one, the Edit User dialog contains the OK button instead of Create & Close and Create & New buttons.

See Adding a New User for details on how to fill out the dialog box.

Important:

- If you change a user’s access level, the user will be forcibly signed out of EKM if he or she is currently signed in.

- You cannot edit the access level of an `admin` user. If you want to reduce the access level of a user in the `admin` group, you will first need to remove that user from the `admin` group.

- If EKM is configured to retrieve a user's User name, First name, Last name and/or Email from LDAP, these fields will be disabled in the Edit Profile dialog box. For more information, see LDAP Mapping in the Installation Guide.
