1.    Access the Users window.

2.    Locate the user whose information you wish to update.

To quickly find a user, use the Display drop-down options to sort users or use the first row to enter specific information such as the user's name or ID.

3.    To update the user's login capabilities, select or deselect the Active J1 Desktop Login and/or Active J1 Web Login check boxes as needed.

4.    If needed, update the user ID by typing in the User ID column.

If you edit the User ID, you must also rename this user's server Login and Database User accounts in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The User ID column must match the name entered for the Login in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to allow the user to log into J1 Desktop and J1 Web.

5.    If needed, update the description by typing in the Description column, for example, to update their name.

6.    To assign or change an ID number, from the ID Number column, enter or search for a valid J1 Desktop user ID Number. To search, right-click and select Advanced Search. Once entered or selected, the Name column automatically displays the name of the selected ID Number.

An ID Number is required for J1 Web users.

Because users with either a negative number or “999999999” in the ID Number column cannot be edited or deleted from the Users window, consider giving administrative users one of these protected ID numbers.

7.    If you are using active directory authentication and need to update the active directory user name, select the appropriate user name from the Active Directory User drop-down options. These names are from the LDAP_USER_NAME table populated by a SQL Server Agent job.

9.    To track the user's login and function activity via the User Activity Reports window, select the Audit User check box. To stop tracking the user's activity, deselect the check box.

10.  To change whether the user receives application alert notifications in J1 Desktop, select or deselect the Notification Enabled check box as needed.

11.  If needed, from the SEVIS User ID drop-down options, select the Primary Designated School Official (PDSO) who is authorized to approve data contained in the SEVIS tables.
