Editing Users
Prior to Editing a User
Prior to editing a user, there must be an existing administrator that has been created in Zephyr Enterprise. The administrator/system user must be logged in and be under the User Setup section within the administration section.
Scenario: You are a testing manager that has a role of a 'manager' in Zephyr Enterprise. As a testing manager, you want to edit the information/configure an existing user in the system.
If this is your first time managing users, you might want to work with a test user rather than an actual user in the system, and that way, you can work out any issues you might have with managing users before you work with live users.
1. Click on the individual user that you want to edit.
2. Change/Edit any of the existing fields for the user account. The user account must have the mandatory fields filled out. The mandatory fields are shown with a red bordered text box.
- First Name - The first name of the user.
- Last Name - The last name of the user.
- User - An individual/person who users or operates functions within Zephyr Enterprise.
- Role - A category used to give specific permissions to users in the system. These permissions give users the access and the ability to perform certain tasks throughout the system.
- Lead - Can have multiple leads per department, responsible for entire projects/releases
