Editing User Properties

In this section, we set a particular user's AcmePoints value higher so we can see that the rules we create are operational.

1. From the Administration Tools Home page, click the User Management icon. The User Management Home page appears.

2. From the User Management Home page, click the Users link in the Users banner. The Search for a User tool appears.

   To locate a user, do one of the following:

   1. To locate the user by name, enter democustomer in the Username field, then click Search. The search returns the username democustomer and displays a link at the bottom of the page.

   2. To see a list of all users within an alphabetized category, click the appropriate letter corresponding to the first letter of the username. A list of users appear at the bottom of the page.

   3. To see a list of all users in the database, use the wildcard feature. Enter a partial username immediately followed by an asterisk (*).

3. Click democustomer to edit this user. The User Property view appears.

4. From the drop-down list box, select the exampleportal property set, then click Search. The page refreshes and shows the user's values for the properties in the exampleportal property set.

   

5. Click Edit on the AcmePoints Properties bar. The Edit Property Values page appears.

6. Enter 5 in the New Value field, then click Save. The page refreshes and confirms that the property was set correctly. You have now given democustomer a non-default value for AcmePoints.

   

7. Click Back to return to the User Properties view page.

8. Click Finished to save the user's property set values. The system returns to the User Properties view page.

9. Click Home on the BEA WebLogic Personalization Server banner to return to the Administration Tools Home page.
