Introduction

User profiles can be edited through the Deem Partner Dashboard with appropriate permissions.

Benefits

These instructions benefit the TMC, and clients can edit accounts with appropriate permissions.

Click Partner Dashboard/Console Admin Permissions link for further information about permissions.

Need To Know

Profiles can be edited manually or through an HR feed, User Profile Upload or Web Services.

Note: If there are fields which are edited through an HR feed or Web Services: Be careful about editing these fields manually, as the HR feed or Web Services may overwrite what you have entered once the service is triggered.  This will depend on what is selected in the Configure Profile Fields / Profile Load area. I.e., it may write for New Users Only, or All Users.  When All Users is checked, the feed will overwrite a manual update made to that field.

Open

You can tell how a User Account has been created and modified by accessing the account under Edit User, and look to the right of the account information

Types of profile creation and modification:

• Profile Load

• Manually

• Single Sign On

• Open Enrollment

• Web Service

Note: You may see a profile created by one service and edited by another. With modification, it shows how the profile was last edited.

Edit User Profile

How to access profile

1. On the Users Tab, select Edit a User.

2. Enter search criteria for account

• Helpful Hint:  You can use one or more of the search fields above. Due to the many ways to spell a first or last name you can actually search for partial names. A few examples are listed below:

  • First initial of first name and first initial of last name.

  • Partial first name.

  • Partial last name as in example in below screenshot. I am searching for the last name Never but searching only by Nev.  The system will present any last name starting with Nev.

  • Partial email address or even partial External ID.

  • Search by only Active Users, to narrow down profile returned to only active accounts.

  • If you know there are fewer than 200 user accounts you can leave all search options blank and click search.

  • Tip: Use the % as a wildcard for search criteria. For example %abccorp.com in the Email field
    
    

3. Click account name, as shown below.
