Modifying a User Profile

To modify a selected User Profile:

  1. Select a User Profile from the Search List (see Selecting a User Profile above).
  2. If appropriate, change the user's STATUS.
    Note: When users first submit a registration form, their status is Pending. This means they do not yet have an active Youth Forum account and can't log in to the member site.
  • To activate a user, switch the status to Approved.
    An active member account will be automatically created for that user. Approved users can log in to the member site and apply to projects.
  • If you need to temporarily prevent a user from accessing the member site without deleting the user's account, switch the status to Banned.
  • To reactivate a banned user, switch the status back to Approved.
  • To delete a user from the system entirely, click on the DELETE USER button at the bottom of the User Profile.

  1. If appropriate, edit any of the fields on the User Profile to change a user's information.

  • Name and Address: The name and address of a user may be entered in both English and Japanese so that it can be displayed, where appropriate, on both English and Japanese views of the site, or in English and Japanese searches.

  • Administrator Notes: Type comments here about a user's account. The administrator notes can only be seen by other administrators, and are never seen by users.

  1. To save any changes you made to the User Profile, click on the APPLY CHANGES button
    Or, if you wish to exit the User Profile without saving changes, click on the CANCEL button.
