Modifying Users

Follow this procedure when you want to:

- Edit the information associated with a user account.

- Copy a user so that you can reuse all or most of the useraccount, including role assignments.

NOTE Only the role assignments for the current product are copied to the new user. Role assignments for other products are not copied.

- Delete a user account when the user no longer needs access to Dimensions. This frees up the resources allocated to that user. The deleted user becomes "dormant", which means the user account can still be displayed when you filter by Dormant Users in the navigation pane, though the user is inactive.

NOTE To reactivate a dormant user, add the user using the same ID and details in the New User dialog box.
