Edit user profiles

Fabio Scagliola April 24, 2020

As a Jira administrator I do not seem to be able to edit the profiles of the users in my team (first name, last name, job title...), not even while impersonating them 

Is that so or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance

This should solve your issue.

Log in as Org Admin

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com

2. Select Directory from top menu

3. Select Managed Accounts from Side Menu

4. Find your User and click show more details.

5. should be able to edit and update those attributes for your user now.

 

Have a good day

Hi @Fabio Scagliola ,

Welcome to the community! can you please share a screenshot with me? if you are a Jira admin then it should be editable for you even if you are impersonating them too.

Hi Monika,

Thank you! 

Please find a couple of screenshots below 

When I go to "User management" I get Screenshot1 

From here, when I click the user icon, full name, email, or the "Show details" link, I get Screenshot2 where I have no option to edit anything 

Additionally, when I click the "three dots" (indicated by a red arrow), I have no option to edit anything either 

In Screenshot2, when I click "Log in as user" and then I go to the profile editor (https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/profile-and-visibility), I actually see my profile, not the profile of the user I am impersonating

Hi @Fabio Scagliola 

if you want to change the name and email address of the users in the cloud.

you need to click on the user name it will open the screenshot 2 with the button "suggest changes" where you can go and suggest the email and name of the user.
Users will get the email to approve it or reject it.

Dear Monika,

As you can see from my Screenshot2, there is no such "Suggest changes" link

Hi @Monika Rani ,

Do you have any ide why I do not see the "Suggested changes" link?

Please see also the following additional screenshot

Did you ever get a reply on this?  I'm in the same boat, and because the name defaults to the email, I'm running into some very confusing full names.

 

Looks like using suggest changes is the only way to do this and the account has to have been initiated.
