This article shows how to change a user's sign-in information (username and password), site or profile settings for a user, or roles.
If you make any significant changes to the user's account, we recommend that you set Force login on next visit to Yes on the Manage users > Admin page so that the next page the user loads forces him/her instead to the sign in page, automatically logging him/her out. Once the user logs back in, this setting is automatically set back to No.
Change a username
- Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > Membership Administration > Members and Roles > Manage Users.
- In the Manage Users page, search for the user whose account you want to change.
- To change the username for a user, click Change username next to that user's username. The Change Username dialog window appears.
