User Details

When you select a user's name in the list of users from Control panel, Users, their email address and assigned security appears for you to review.

Note: When you make a user inactive or change the roles, and close the user profile, the user details on the Users page does not automatically get updated. You need to refresh the browser to view the latest changes for the user.

At the top of a user's profile, you can view their name and the email address used with their Blackbaud ID.

Tip: You can't update a user's name and email address from their profile. If a user signs in through Blackbaud's secure authentication service, they can manage their name and email address from their Blackbaud ID profile. If your organization sets up single sign-on (SSO) for its Blackbaud IDs, your network administrator can manage users' name and email addresses through your identity provider.

Note: The name and email address on the user's details is the one used to accept the invitation, which may be different than the one originally used to send the invitation.

To make the user inactive, select Make inactive from the action bar. For more information, see Users.

To change roles for a user, select Manage roles. You can only assign one role per feature area.

When you edit a user to provide access to another feature area, they’ll have access to the area within several minutes without receiving and accepting another invitation.

Note: If you use multiple Blackbaud solutions, change the user's role for the feature area under its solution. If you're giving the user access to another solution for the first time, the user will have access within several minutes without receiving and accepting another invitation.

If you're removing access to a feature area and the user is logged in, it takes several minutes to automatically log the user out of the solution.

To link the user to a different one in the database view, select Manage roles. Under Security groups, select the X in search to remove the database view user and then search for the one you need. After you save, the users link.

Note: If the database user is linked to another user, they won't appear in search results.

To view or edit a user's access in the database view, select Manage security. For more information, see Database View Security Groups.

From Control panel, Users, select a user's name to view their details under Action history. Action history shows the most recent access-oriented actions related to the user and environment being viewed. The actions can include initiation actions, admin status changes, roles changes, name or email address changes. The two categories for actions:

  • Access changes - action affecting the user

  • Initiated actions - action performed by the user

Note: If the change was made by an internal Blackbaud process, the Actor on in the Access changes section shows “Blackbaud”.
