Change user data or role

Account and user information is contained in the profile. The data set in the profile depends on the type of account and user role. You can view your profile in the control panel under Profile and Settings.

The Account Owner and User Administrator can access information about all users in the control panel: Account → Users and Service Users sections . The Account Owner and User Administrator can change some user data:

	Control panel user	Service user	Federated user
Name	✗ (you need to delete the old user and add a new one)	✓	✗
Login or External ID	-	✓	✗ (not stored in Servercore)
Password	✓ (user modifies)	✓	✗ (not stored in Servercore)
Role*	✓	✓	✓
project	✓	✓	✓
Mail	✗ (you need to delete the old user and add a new one)	-	✗
Phone number	✗ (you need to delete the old user and add a new one)	-	-
User groups	✓	✓	✓
Notification categories	✓	-	✓
SSH keys	✓	✓	✓
S3 keys	✓	✓	-
ADB keys	✓	✓	✓

* A User Administrator cannot change their role, but an Account Owner or other User Administrator can.

To change your phone number, email address, full name, company details, change your profile details.

Federated user data is not stored in Servercore, it can be changed on the side of your Identity Provider.

Control panel users can issue their own S3 keys on their own, but we recommend to create service users and use keys together with them.

Only the Account Owner or User Administrator can issue S3 keys to other users.A service user cannot get an S3 key by himself because he does not have access to the control panel — he must be issued a key by the Account Owner or User Administrator.
