Editing Existing Orchid Users

This is the Edit pencil icon.

Nothing is set in stone for Orchid Core VMS users and almost all of the user settings can be updated, as needed. The only user that cannot be completely edited is the default admin user (which has a Lock icon in place of the Trash Can icon). While the password can be updated, the username and role cannot be changed.

1. To edit a user, click the Edit pencil icon to the right of the user you want to update. The User screen will open.

2. Edit any of the available fields, as needed.
3. If this user exists on multiple Orchid Core VMS servers, mark the Replicate changes across all Orchid Core VMS servers checkbox if you want your changes to cascade to all of those servers. (For example, you could push a password change to all the servers.)
4. If you want to create this user on all of the other registered Orchid Core VMS servers, mark the Replicate changes across all Orchid Core VMS servers checkbox and the Also create new users checkbox. You will be required to enter an administrator password.

5. Click the Update User button. If you didn’t mark the Replicate checkbox, all of the changes will be saved. If you did mark the Replicate checkbox, a summary of changes will appear.

6. Click the Replicate User button to implement the changes.

*If you try to change your own password, Orchid Core VMS will automatically sign you out.
