Edit user profiles

You can edit a profile’s first name, last name, email address, and assigned roles.

You can also reset the password for the profile and the secret key that links the profile to Oracle Mobile Authenticator.

To edit a user profile, follow these steps:

1. Click the User Management icon.
2. Click the name of the user whose profile you want to change.
3. Once you have made your changes, click Save.

To edit roles to the user profile, click Edit List under Roles. The list of assigned roles appears in the Selections pane. Search for a name or ID of a role to see it displayed in the search results. Double click on the role to add it to the selection. To delete a selection, select the X next to its name. Note that you can only create roles using the API. For information on using the API to create roles, refer to Implement Access Control for Internal Users.

The user can change the password at any time by clicking the Forgot Password? link on the administration interface login page and entering the email address associated with their profile, as described in the previous section. You can also force them to reset it.

To force a user to reset their password, follow these steps:

1. Click the User Management icon.
2. Click the name of the user.
3. Click Reset Password.
4. At the prompt, click Reset to confirm.

   Commerce sends a link to the email address associated with the user’s profile that the user can click to reset their password.

You can reset the secret key that links a user’s profile with Oracle Mobile Authenticator (OMA). You will need to reset the key if the original link in the user’s email has expired. When you reset a user’s secret key, they cannot log into the administration interface again until they reconfigure OMA as described in Add your Commerce profile to Oracle Mobile Authenticator.

To reset a user’s secret key, follow these steps:

1. Click the User Management icon.
2. Click the name of the user.
3. Click Reset Key.
4. At the prompt, click Reset to confirm.

   Commerce sends a message to the email address associated with the profile. The message includes several ways that the user can associate the new key with OMA. See Access the Commerce administration interface for more information.

Understand access control changes

Whenever you change a user's security criteria, the change occurs the next time that the user logs in. While the user is logged in, access to specific catalogs or price groups does not change.

When you change a user's privileges, the change occurs immediately, meaning any time system checks for privileges, it will retrieve the new privileges.
