# Edit User Pop-Up

You can manage details for each user in the **New/Edit User** window.

*Name, email address, university ID, role assignment, and user photo* are located in the header, while further settings can be edited in the following tabs:

* **Account**: personal data, including the status (Inactive) settings.
* **Groups**: Manage the user's group membership.
* **Privileges:** Here, you can check which privileges your user holds based on their role.  
* **E-portfolio:** Here, you can create printable reports of individual learners.
* **Inventory**: The **transaction** [**assignee**](/doc/privileges-user-access-details-CfHN1bm5hK) option can be enabled for the user on this tab. **It is enabled by default for all newly created Learners.**

## Creating a new user

### User LDAP Authentication

If a [**directory server is configured**](/doc/how-to-configure-ldap-login-J9ujZBfTLG) for user authentication, LDAP authentication can be set up for users in the **Edit User** window.  
Users can log in using their credentials stored on your directory server by enabling LDAP authentication.


:::warning
***WARNING:*** If LDAP authentication is enabled, users cannot log in with their **LearningSpace Enterprise** email and password, nor can they modify it.

### Card ID Field

In the Card ID field, you can enter the numeric equivalent of a **barcode** or a combination of numbers/characters related to the **QR code** associated with a Learner user account.  
This way, LearningSpace will be able to identify a user based on this ID in case the related **QR code/barcode** is printed out and used at the **Kiosk** or other type of **Check-in Station:**  the Check-in Station will detect the barcode/QR Code and match it with the Learner user account it belongs to in LearningSpace.


:::tip
See more under [How to use Card-based Login](/doc/how-to-use-card-based-login-IJcfoBXtul) or [Learner Check-In/Check-Out](/doc/learner-check-in-check-out-fgsS7FrTUg).

:::

With LearningSpace's [Batch user create](/doc/batch-user-create-KqZQGjRkyv) (BUC) feature, card ID values can be added to multiple users.

### Additional Custom ID Field

The **Additional custom ID** field provides a **consistent and anonymized identifier** that can be managed institutionally without exposing personal information (e.g., email addresses or names).

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/03fa1014-cf0e-4191-ba80-50d24eef65d4/4f01d1b0-e1bf-4452-929f-e00be8182634/add%20cust%20id.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=8881a4ec7b464710ffef51f653d151ab49d7fa18bdbcdd3eb9bbaba90d8cbb40&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =1887x715")

Unlike UCIDs (which may contain identifying data), *‘**ACIDs’ ***are 

* **consistent** across all Activity/Case/Part views,
* **persistent** across page **refreshes or revisit** scenarios,
* **non-identifiable,** and only shows the exact value stored in the *“Additional Custom ID”* field of the user profile.

  
:::warning
  The ACID field **can not be synced** via [LDAP synchronization](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/how-to-configure-ldap-synchronization-zRqlnJJQfk). 

  :::

When this option is selected in the Reporting Setup, the ordered list of numbers in the Learners column on the [OEQS Scoring page](/doc/oeqs-scoring-page-25NfRaNDcH) is replaced with the learner's Additional Custom ID.  


:::tip
This field will additionally appear in:


1. [**Batch User Upload Module**](/doc/batch-user-create-KqZQGjRkyv)
2. [**Raw Score Export Report**](/doc/how-to-access-raw-score-export-0H5cNJgwJB)

:::


:::info
If a user does not have an Additional Custom ID value populated, the fallback value (a ***Unique Identifier***, or *‘UID’* ) is used. The UID is a number that **does not contain any identifiable information**. 

**➡️** **UIDs are** 

* **unique identifiers** assigned to learners by the system, 
* are **anonymous and consistent** (even if the page is refreshed or revisited), 
* allowing for **reliable progress tracking** across the system.

:::

### Department Field

For an even more detailed identification of LearningSpace users, a new field named ***‘Department’*** has been introduced in the [Edit User pop-up](/doc/edit-user-pop-up-p53l4RpOgR).


 ![Department Field in User Manager](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/03fa1014-cf0e-4191-ba80-50d24eef65d4/966afa47-1b0e-4bb2-b5e3-8ea982d60721/department%20field.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=aac1b77e3fdacf9142e8843ca1bc32c5668aa2bb1c6804cd8169edd714b937e7&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =418x1076")


The new field can be synced via [LDAP synchronization](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/how-to-configure-ldap-synchronization-zRqlnJJQfk) for each learner. Its content is also included in the [Learner Check-in Check-out](/doc/learner-check-in-check-out-fgsS7FrTUg) Report.

## Groups Tab

Every group the user is currently a member of is listed here.

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/48ddf0a7-308b-4fe9-b28a-e3ce1797eaa8/719fd4e5-7240-48d8-8746-b9ac7f7e730b/70386353.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=78fdb6b05706e7b97c4eb5ed278b3caf9685717e094f0659cdcf5c4d6a2db796&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject)

  
If you search for and **add a new group** on this page, the user will be added automatically.  
Also, a user can be **removed** from a group by deleting the group from the list.

## Privileges Tab

Each user needs a [Role](/doc/roles-E8osxYRlCO), which can only be **assigned** in the **New/Edit User** window.


:::info
Find out more about [**creating Roles here**](/doc/59709e23-7a8b-45e2-8f08-a319aae9e34e).

:::

The system distinguishes between **Roles** and [**Privileges**](/doc/privileges-wnjrx8qPWS)**:**

* **Roles** refer to user **types** (e.g., *Learner, SP, Instructor*, etc.).
* **Privileges** are **users' capabilities**: They limit **what users can access in the system** (e.g., what they see on their dashboard).

**Roles** vary from simple ones with one or a few privileges to complex ones with several privileges. You can either **select a default role** for a user or **a** **Custom** **role** and select the **preferred privileges**.

### Default roles

Default roles can be selected from the Role drop-down menu in **Accounts** in the **Edit Users** tab. To check the privileges for each role, select a role, then go to **the Privileges tab.**

:bulb: All privileges will be displayed for the role, but cannot be edited.  

### Custom roles

Using *Custom*, you can create a custom role for your user.

After selecting *Custom* from the Role drop-down in the **Edit User** tab, the view will change to **Privileges**. Select the privileges you want to grant to your user.

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/48ddf0a7-308b-4fe9-b28a-e3ce1797eaa8/63a04692-bb04-4e31-9fe6-a959dd6b1705/70386364.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=71d24a822603438c954cf29b09925d4675aa961897449541d52f78d5913cf96c&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject)


:::warning
**Custom roles** in the **New/ Edit User** window will not be saved. Roles can only be saved for later at [**Roles**](/doc/59709e23-7a8b-45e2-8f08-a319aae9e34e).

:::

## Inventory Tab

In the **Inventory** tab of the **Edit User** pop-up, a checkbox is available for each user. With this checkbox, you can designate any **active** user as a **Transaction Assignee,** who can then be assigned as the **person responsible for a check-in or check-out transaction.**

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/03fa1014-cf0e-4191-ba80-50d24eef65d4/ab9a6d33-0de3-435a-a779-ab78fb1d60b7/trans%20assignee%20NEW%20GIF.gif?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=aa4e270437b4290c3d6d77e152e4ad92ede9aa8f9918fddf28f7328db7585d21&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =x1316")


:::warning
Ensure that the *Inactive* checkbox is unchecked in the **user's Account tab**.

:::info
Once you assign a user as a **Transaction Assignee**, the system automatically generates a **QR code** for that user.

:::


### QR Code


:::tip
Print the system-generated **QR code** so users can easily **identify themselves** when picking up or bringing back equipment.  ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/1be56037-f226-436c-a5d9-fe31bc1be268/66355613.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=44cbf6d4b6ed4db81ac0dea21849a0283b3042e444894a67f8469fd1b437240d&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =471x285")

### **Automatic Transaction assignee privilege assignment for new Learners**

When using the **Add New user** option, the [Transaction assignee](/doc/privileges-user-access-details-CfHN1bm5hK) checkbox is checked by default for [users with Learner]() privilege (*if the Inventory manager is enabled in the LearningSpace system*).  
This way, Learners can be marked as Transaction assignees during [Transaction](/doc/transactions-8oqvFYXUib) processes in the Inventory.


:::tip

## Deleting users

For deleting users, click on the three dots available in the upper right corner of the pop-up and hit **Delete**:

 ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/03fa1014-cf0e-4191-ba80-50d24eef65d4/6e1c500d-33b3-4433-84e2-5208f69c8b06/delete%20user.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=a44411e3af0bb909b8d127381a323776e4ff10bf46c50b6f5bdf52603535f26e&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =x901")


:::warning
Deleting users will prevent you from **running reports** or **pulling data** for those users. A better option is to make all these users *"**inactive**"*: this will retain their data, but they will no longer be able to access the LearningSpace environment.

:::


:::success
For information about **Inactive Learners,** go [here](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/5307bdc3-7790-482b-bba5-c5ca1cb0c221).

:::

  
Additionally, the user **group** these users belong to can be [hidden](), so it is not listed in the user interface.

The easiest way to make users in a specific group inactive is through the [**Batch User Create**](/doc/batch-user-create-KqZQGjRkyv) tool.
