Posted by Matt N in NewsTagged: employee profile, new features, News, updates
This feature has been requested many times and I’m pleased to announce that employees now have the ability to maintain their own profiles (with an admin’s permission of course).

As an Employee
From an employee’s perspective using the employee profile editor is dead simple. If this feature is enabled for your account, you’ll see a menu item labeled ‘My Profile’. Once clicked, this launches the profile editor (see below).
Simply make your changes and click Save. Your profile has now been updated.
As an aside, with this feature enabled, you’ll also have the ability to reset your password from the login page (previously this was reserved for admins only).
As an Admin
As an admin, you’ll need to elect to allow your employees to manage their profile or not. This can be done through the ‘My Account => Advanced => User Options’ area (see below).
From this panel you’ll be able to allow employees to maintain and edit their profiles (or not) and even restrict them to only editing certain areas of their profile (username, email, password, time zone). Simply check the boxes next to the items you wish to allow and click ‘Save’.
Note that employees currently logged in will not see these changes until they logout and then back in.
If you get stuck please reference our wiki article about allowing employees to edit their profiles.
