Edit User properties page

This page provides Project Management System administrator with an opportunity to edit following User's attributes:

Name* - User's full name, for example, "John Smith" or "Smith, John" depending upon how you want names to be sorted.
Abbr - user's initials - usually the first letters of user's first and last names. However in some cases other types of personal identifiers may be used, for example, employee file number or social security number.
Login* - user's identifier, which user has to enter into the Login form to get an access to the system. Login must consist of letters, digits and underscore symbol only - spaces and special symbols are not allowed. Examples of valid login's - "johndoe", "Mary2004", "BOB_MARLEY".
Note that login is case-sensitive. It means that user must enter it exactlty as it is written in User properties page, preserving the case of each letter, otherwise system refuses user to log in.
Password* - secret word, which user has to enter into the Login form to get an access to the system. Password must consist of letters, digits and underscore symbol only - spaces and special symbols are not allowed. Examples of valid passwords - "745859566890798", "_q7e5n9", "WwT7v9s34".
Note that password is case-sensitive. It means that user must enter it exactlty as it is written in User properties page, preserving the case of each letter, otherwise system refuses user to log in. Avoid using short or "easy-to-guess" passwords. Typically password should have not less than 8 symbols including letters in lower and upper cases and digits. It is especially important if the Project Management System is available from Internet and potentially any Internet user may try to get into it.
E-mail* - user's e-mail address (without protocol prefix mailto:), for example, johndoe@company.com. Project Management System uses this e-mail address for sending various e-mail notifications to user, for example, when a task is assigned to this user or a new document is added to one of the storage. It means that each user must have valid e-mail address registered in the system.
E-mail2 - optional user's additional e-mail address (without protocol prefix mailto:), for example, johndoe@company.com. System does not send any e-mails to this address automatically.
