Update the User's 'Personal Information'

  1. Update the information in the following fields as needed:
    • First Name. Change first name of the user. 
    • Last Name. Change the surname of the user. 
    • Initials. Change the user's initials.
    • Admin Only. Email Address. Change the user's email address. This is the email address that emails from Procore are sent to.
      Notes:
    • Admin Only. Login. Change the user's login email address. This is the email address that they use to log in to Procore.
      Notes: 
      • If your company's email domain is managed by SSO in Procore and you have 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Directory tool, you can change the login email address for other users who belong to the same SSO domain and for other users who only have user accounts in your company's Procore account. See Can I change a person's email address in the Directory?
      • If your company's email domain is not managed by SSO in Procore, users can change their own login email address in the 'My Profile Settings' on their account as long as the new email address is not associated with another user in Procore. See Change Your Login ID Email Address for Your Procore User Account.

    • Postcode
    • Business Phone

Update the User's Company Permissions

This task can only be completed by users with 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Directory tool.

If you do not want to apply a company permissions template, click the button under the permission level you want to provide for each tool you want the user to have access to.

 Note
To make the user a Company Administrator, select 'Admin' permissions for the Company level Directory tool (or select a permissions template with these permissions). This gives them 'Admin' level permissions for all Company level tools and Project level tools for projects that they are added to.
