Editable member fields

Which fields you can edit depends on your administrator’s configuration. The following member fields can potentially be made editable:

Field	AD Attribute	Description
Username	sAMAccountName	AD logon name
Display Name	displayName	Full display name
First Name	givenName	Given name
Last Name	sn	Surname
Description	description	Account description
Email	mail	Email address
Job Title	title	Job title
Department	department	Department name
Company	company	Company name
Office	physicalDeliveryOfficeName	Office location
Telephone	telephoneNumber	Phone number
Employee ID	employeeID	Employee identifier
Employee Number	employeeNumber	Employee number
Account Status	userAccountControl	Enable or disable the account

The following member fields are always read-only:

Field	Why read-only
Name	The common name (cn) — renaming users has broader implications
Distinguished Name	Determined by AD structure
Manager	Managed through AD administration
Type	User, Group, Computer, or Contact — determined by object class
Domain Name	Determined by the domain the object belongs to
Division	Set to non-editable by default (can be changed by admin)

Account Status is a special field — when editable, it allows managers to enable or disable a user account. This is a powerful capability that administrators should enable with caution.

Audit trail

Every member edit is logged in the audit trail (if logging is enabled). The log records who made the change, when, the member affected, and the specific values that were changed (old value → new value).

If email notifications are configured with the Notify When User Account Information Is Updated option enabled, an instant notification is sent when a member’s properties are edited.

If editing is not available

If you don’t see an Edit button on member rows, your administrator has disabled member editing in the admin panel Settings (Allow editing member data is turned off), or no fields are marked as editable in the Fields configuration. Contact your administrator if you need this capability.
