    A list of administrators matching the search criteria appears.

  5. Click the <user name> link of the user whose account you want to edit.

    The Basic User Information page appears.

    Note: The Basic User Information page also displays the User Account Information (Account Type, AccountID, and Status) if any account type was configured.

  6. Click Edit to change the user information on this page.
