Modify An Existing User's Information (Ploud6)

Select Site Setup from the dropdown menu to open the Site Setup screen.

Select Users from the Plone Configuration category to open the Users Overview.

A user’s Roles can be changed directly from the Users Overview page. To do so, simply check or uncheck Roles as desired and then click the Apply Changes button.
