There are two types of FishEye user accounts:

  • 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the FishEye database.
  • 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if any are configured. See Configuring External Authentication Sources.

To edit a user's details,

  1. Click 'Users' on the 'Admin Menu'.
  2. The 'User Browser' screen will be displayed (see screenshot below), showing a list of users.
  3. Locate the user and click the corresponding 'Edit' link.
    If the user doesn't initially appear on the screen, type part of their email address and/or select a group to which they belong, and click the 'Filter' button.
  4. The 'Edit User' screen will be displayed. You can update the following fields:
    • 'Display Name' — type the user's display-name.
      To change the user's login name, see Renaming a User.
    • 'Email' — type the user's email address. This address is where the user will receive notifications.
    • 'Auth Type' — select either 'Built-in' or the name of the appropriate external directory where the user will be stored.
      By changing the 'Auth Type', you are moving the user to a different directory.
  5. Click the 'Apply' button.
