# Editing a User Manually

## **Who Has Access**

The following users can edit a user from the Users Dashboard:

- Users with the [Group Manager](/v1/docs/group-permission-group-manager-gm) or [Manage Users](/v1/docs/group-permission-manage-users-mu) group permission.
- [Supervisors](/v1/docs/user-profile-information#supervisors), if the [account's **Supervisor Access** setting's](/v1/docs/account-settings#supervisor-access) *Edit Supervisees* option is checked.
- [Administrators or owners](/v1/docs/user-profile-information#access-level).

If a user exists in multiple accounts (including the SmarterU Academy), you will not be able to edit the following settings by default unless you are an administrator in all the accounts that the user belongs to:

- Primary Email
- Password
- Given Name
- Surname

The User Profile workscreen displays for the user.
