# Edit a user's profile

As a Site Administrator (or another role with the appropriate permissions) you can edit another user's profile.

To edit someone else's profile, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu >* *Users > Accounts*.
2. Select **Manage users**.
3. Search for and find the user.
4. Select the cog icon (![cog](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/cog.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T17%3A01%3A00Z&se=2026-11-01T18%3A01%3A00Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=NKjmaHjr%2FrZF1IXjUDd3b%2FZo8LlvZo%2BhIXvqTMlzDh0%3D)) next to the user's name to open their profile.
5. Edit the profile as required.
6. Click **Save and view** to save your changes and view user's profile, or **Save and go back** to save the changes and return to the list of users.

The most common reason to access this page is to reset a user’s password.
