You must have the PRIV_ACCOUNT privilege in your role in order to edit the accounts of other users. Without that privilege, you only have the rights to edit your own account information. |
If you try to edit an account at the same time as another system administrator, the software displays an error message indicating that the account has been updated or deleted by another administrator, and preventing you from saving any changes that you may have made to the account. To continue making changes to this account, you must reload the page and re-enter your changes.
If you try to edit a user that another administrative user has deleted, the software removes the user from the User List and displays an error message indicating that the record has been deleted by another user.
