The User Profile Update page allows you to change user profile data. You can update either your own profile or, if rights given to you allows it, you can update user profile data of another users of the Issue Tracking System.

You can change User Profile for multiple Issue Tracking System (ITS) products / product categories. To change an user profile for a product / product category, first select the product category using drop down list located in top right corner of the User Profile Update page and then change the user profile. Be aware that you might have different rights to change the user profile for each product / product category.

User Profile properties: LoginId, password, Last Name, First Name and e-mail address are shared across all products / product categories. Changing them for one product / product category means that the change will be made for all products / product categories. Other properties: Title, Manager, User Roles can be set differently for each product / product category.

This page provides information about managing user right through user roles only,  which is useful only to Issue Tracking System Administrators and user managers . For information related to changing other user profile data, please refer to the User Profile Update Help Page in the Issues Tracking System User's Guide.

User Roles

Users of the Issue Tracking System can be assigned to any of the following user roles :

• Issue Tracking System Administrator
• Product Manager
• Product Developer
• Product Tester
• Product Support
• Product End-User

These roles corresponds with the user groups as described in the Users Of the Issue Tracking System document. Each group of users is assigned set of rights which are controling access and behaviour of the Issues Tracking System for an user of a particular group. If user is member of more than one groups, then he/she inherits all user rights from all these groups.

For example, if your user roles are Product Developer and Product Tester. Group of Product Developers has right to update any issue and group of Product Testers has right to assign issues. Then you, as member of these two groups, will have both rights, right to update any issue and right to assign issues.

For information about setting up rights for Issue Tracking system user groups , please read the User Groups and User Rights document.
