Change user data or role

Account and user information is contained in the profile. The data set in the profile depends on the type of account and user role. You can view your profile in the control panel under Profile and Settings.

The Account Owner and User Administrator can access information about all users in the control panel: Account → Users and Service Users sections . The Account Owner and User Administrator can change some user data:
