The User Account Details page is where you can change user permissions, as well as create new users in the first place.


What is a User?

A User is someone can log in to your Charitylog system. A User is not a different Type of Organisation/Person (like Client, Professional). Generally, anyone with a User account (able to log in to the system) would also have a linked Organisation/Person record (where you would store their details), but this is not strictly necessary. You can have a user account without a linked Organisation/Person record, but this is not common - some features will not work, for example, you will not be able to assign Actions to anyone who doesn't have Staff or Volunteer record as well as a user account.

There are five tabs that hold information about the User.
